Dimapur, June 25 (MExN): ‘Mission Naga 2007- Renew the forgotten calling’ gets off to a lively start today with more than 400 young people taking part in the 5 day long programme at Eastern Bible College, Dimapur.

Nagaland can be compared to the stump or the Holy Seed which is described in Isaiah 6:13. Yes! You are not only gentle, kind and pure but also redeemed by Jesus Christ.”
While calling the Nagas as people who try to live in a righteous way, Rev.Barnabas C.S.Moon also wrote but “Nagas are living under serious suffering and political oppression”. Many things have been stolen from the Nagas by the political forces, he further added.
