Kohima, May 24 (MExN): In view of the recent natural disasters which have affected hundreds of families, the Naga Hoho has resolved to request all the church denominations to jointly work with Naga Hoho in reaching out to those in distress.
In its consultative meeting with the constituent units’ presidents based in Nagaland held on May 18 at Hotel Japfü, the Hoho decided to request all the Christian denominations in Nagaland to have a special offering and prayer in one of the devotional services for the affected families and villages in Nagaland caused by cyclonic storms, a press release from Naga Hoho stated. In this regard, the Hoho has appealed to the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) to take initiative towards distributing the monetary assistance in all the affected districts.
