DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 8 (MExN): The Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) and the Ao Baptist Pastor’s Fellowship (ABPF) today appealed to the people of Nagaland to ensure a clean election in the upcoming Nagaland polls. A joint statement from the ABAM and ABPFF said “every believer must pray and commit to be guided by the light and truth of God.”
It asked the intending candidates that “the stature that you have attained today is all due to the light that Christianity brought to our land. We impress upon you to remain grounded in the foundation of God’s truth.”
It called upon the people “to be guided by God’s truth and exercise your birth right and sacred vote by electing leaders who fear and respect God, love the people, and have a vision for the society.”
It meanwhile communicated a “word of caution to individuals/groups that are working against Christian faith, other religious minorities, and secular values.” “Many forces in the state today are working to destroy the light and truth of Christian faith by spreading fear, persecuting Christians, vandalizing worship places and properties, even to the extent of killing Christian missionaries and clergy. We should emphatically denounce these forces and avoid cooperating with them in any way,” the ABAM and ABPF stated.
