Nagaland for Christ and the Church (2)

After the visit to Dimapur, we visited Kohima, the capital city of Nagaland. This is the city that has the signboard "Nagaland for Christ." Whenever I heard this, the Lord reminded me of the church as well, and I modified it as "Nagaland for Christ and the Church."

In this city, the Lord led us to four Bible Colleges where we spent considerable time of fellowship with the Principals/Vice Principals, and they all purchased our books. To my surprise, all the Principals we met appreciated the ministry books so much. All of them purchased the books and said they would order more books. What more satisfying was not just the introduction and distribution, but the fellowship on the word of God. Especially on some crucial truths of the Bible, like God's economy, the Church, the Christian life etc.

Besides, we also fellowshipped with five seeking local families who were just open for the Lord's speaking and visitation. Our consideration was that if we could release our burden in one day we would move on to the next station immediately. However, the Lord led us to stay back one more day in a brother's house who was so open to the truth and wanted to serve the Lord. Initially, we ministered on the truth of a Christian life and the church-life. Though he agreed to all that we spoke, he seemed to have his own way of serving the Lord in a denominational way. But as the fellowship went on he showed interest in coming to the training and inquired many details. In fact, we ended up staying overnight in his house for more fellowship. After hours of fellowship, he expressed his desire to come to Delhi or Gurgaon to see the church life, or even possibly, join short term training. He is a degree holder with MD in theology, just because he wanted to serve the Lord. 

This brother, to me, may be the Lord's chosen vessel for this city. Of course, the Bible colleges too took the books, and perhaps, many of them would have an access to the ministry books. I just believe that the Lord would gain the younger generation for His move in this Christian dominated state. And one day, the modified version of the signboard would come true, "Nagaland for Christ and the Church."
