Dimapur, April 18 (MExN): Youth Department of Kushiabill Sumi Baptist Church (KSBA) has chosen the theme for 2017 from James 2:18; “I will show you my faith by my work” with the aim to address the challenges which are “often results of the erosion of values such as dignity of labour, hard work, sincerity, integrity, and honestly and also forgetting the work cultures integrity of the forefathers.”
Inaho Chophi, Associate Pastor, Youth KSBA in a press release said that keeping in mind the need to inculcate work ethics and dignity of labour, the Youth Department of KSBA ventured into the streets of Dimapur to sell juice, tea, handcrafts made by them. In addition, other service such as polishing shoes, facials and massage, cleaning of streets, hair cutting, domestic chores, and collection of wastes for recycling were also rendered to the public. These were not done to raise funds but to highlight and promote honest earning and dignity of labour, the Associate pastor added.
“We believe that the Nagas need to change their mindset and outlook towards work. In this regard, the church can play a big role in initiating a change of attitude. The church should focus on the young minds and steer them towards a healthier view of the world,” he said.
