Wokha, January 30 (DIPR): The Lotha Baptist Churches Association (LBES) Women department held Lotha women officers’ prayer and fellowship programme on January 28 at the LBES Mission Centre, Vankhosung, where Rev Nyanchumo Ezung, Executive Secretary LBES prayed for blessings. Dr. Abeni Lotha, Principal, Mount Tiyi College, Wokha in her exhortation said that working women in different professions who work at par with the rest of the society face more challenges than others because she bears additional responsibility as a wife, a mother and a professional who has to balance between home and work and still excel in whatever she does in life. She also observed that the task of motherhood is a lifelong process and her wise teachings and guidance will be the foundation of her legacy for her children and their children to emulate. The profession and the authority we have in our official capacity is time bound which needs dedication and handwork no matter how challenging they may seem she also said. Do not cause harm to anyone by misusing the power of your good office, rather take it as a calling and a gift of opportunity from god to serve the government and the people with humility, said Lily Humtsoe, Project Director DRDA, Mokokchung. Education, being the stepping stone of progress for an individual, a family and the nation as a whole, we must do our bit to contribute in educating the lesser fortunate ones in order to uplift them in the required areas, she added. Meribeni Ngullie, Women Secretary LBES, in her welcome address stressed that the purpose of the fellowship is to thank god and celebrate his blessings in the lives of the women and also to encourage one another to foster unity amongst them to work towards achieving higher goals for the good of all. Mhalo Yanthan, Women leader WTBC, who was the speaker of the programme, stated that God's purpose of making them the light for others is to live exemplary lives. ‘You are a flame lid by god by his will, therefore, live in him and he will lead you to lead the others’, she said. During the programme, Lily J. Kikon APRO Bhandari presented a special number. The programme was led by Mhonyani, Chairperson LBES Women Department.
