BAN officials during the first monthly fellowship held in Dimapur on January 30.
Dimapur, January 31 (MExN): The Business Association of Nagas (BAN) on January 30 held its first monthly fellowship of 2026, setting a tone of faith, integrity, and collective responsibility for the business community.
The fellowship was organised with a purpose to place God at the centre of business, life and to seek divine wisdom as members step into a new year filled with opportunities and challenges.
The programme opened with an uplifting session of praise and worship led by Alobo Naga, Executive Member of BAN, setting a reverent and reflective atmosphere for the gathering. The fellowship was led by Pastor Jack Pucho, The Warehouse Church who delivered an inspiring message to the BAN family, emphasising the importance of wisdom and understanding in both life and business.
Pucho shared the Bible verse from Proverbs 24:3 “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established,” encouraging members to build their enterprises on principles of faith, wisdom, and integrity.
A powerful moment of the fellowship was the sharing of personal and collective prayer points, where members openly expressed their concerns, business challenges, and hopes for the future.
BAN leaders underscored that the association is committed to building a value based business culture where faith and integrity go hand in hand with enterprise and development. The fellowship underscored that businesses have a greater role not just as economic drivers, but as agents of positive social transformation. Through regular monthly fellowships, BAN aims to nurture spiritual strength among entrepreneurs, promote ethical business practices, and create a strong, supportive network grounded in mutual trust and shared values.
The key outcome of the first BAN Monthly Business Fellowship was a collective commitment to run our businesses as mission. This aligns BAN with the global movement known as Business As Mission (BAM), where business is intentionally used to glorify God, serve people, and transform communities.
