KOHIMA, NOVEMBER 26 (MExN): Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) General Secretary, Rev Dr Zelhou Keyho has called upon all Christians in Kohima regardless of church affiliations and denominations to participate in a prayer walk organized jointly by NBCC and Kohima Baptist Pastors Fellowship on December 1 from 4:30-6:00am at different locations in the city. A press statement from the NBCC General Secretary said: “We are reminded of the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Those who rebuilt that city rebuilt their own neighborhoods first, and were willing when the trumpet sounded to help others.” He added that “in such a time as this we need to claim our city back to God. We need to pray for our families, young people, government, leaders, business establishments, for unity and peace in our land and many more. We need healing and God’s intervention. We must rise and unite in a common prayer effort that everyone can do-to claim God’s power over our land and city. We are seeking those who are willing to be part of praying as they walk the colony they live in and converge to the nearest designated prayers points.” Keyho further urged let this be a time for Kohima dwellers to “confess and repent to claim God’s power over our lives, individually and corporately. Let us make assigned hours on this day to cry to God for revival and healing.” He informed that letter with prayer points have been served to churches from the office already. The designated prayer points are Lerie Junction, PR Hill, Phulbari, Raju Point, Tin Pati, High School Junction and New Secretariat Junction. Pastors will be assigned with prayer coordinators to lead in prayer as believers congregate. All participants have been requested to bring the hymn ‘Onward Christian Soldiers Marching as to War’ in their own dialect.
