‘Faith in Action’ is once again all set to put Nagaland in the entertainment map of the country. This group of ten young Taekwondo exponents has made it to the first voting round of ‘Colors’ highly rated reality talent show - ‘India’s Got Talent’ season 3. They were also in the news back in 2009 when they won at Sony Entertainment’s - ‘Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega’.

Interacting with the local media prior to the departure on Thursday, Faith in Action appealed for support of the people of Nagaland during the SMS voting round. “We’re representing Nagaland and Nagaland is representing the north east,” said one of the members, while calling upon the people of the region for support. “Because it is a sports ministry based on faith, we want to glorify Jesus,” he said.
Their art is founded on Taekwondo, however they said that what they are displaying is a form of mixed martial art brilliantly choreographed to the accompaniment of music.
Instructor Deep Kumar, said that the group had first auditioned for the show in Guwahati on May 15 last. They got selected and had another opportunity to audition at an all-India level at Kolkata during June 21-23, where they also got through.
