Ministry of the Word to Mokokchung

Mokochung is a beautiful town with valleys and mountains and has a well-developed infrastructure compared to other places in Nagaland. We were hosted in a Circuit house on a mountain top with a beautiful scenic view of the entire town. This was my second time in this town. The first time was a few years ago, but at that time we did not have the Holy Bible Recovery Version nor the free books distributed by Rhema distributors. Therefore, this is more or less like the first visit as far as the spread of the ministry literature is concerned.

Our day began in this town with seekers visiting us at our lodge. We did our best to introduce the ministry literature to all whom the Lord led us to meet. Two incidents were noteworthy. The first one, meeting with a Pastor and his team of committee members. He graciously gave us time to introduce the ministry literature along with the Holy Bible Recovery Version. As soon as the introduction was done, all of the committed members purchased their copy of the Bible. They were so seeking and hungry for the word of God. And when we were about to leave, we all prayed together and they prayed for our onward journey. It was indeed such a timely visit.

The second one is a visit to a Bible college. When we met the Dean and teachers, they did not show much interest until one of the teachers purchased a copy after checking the Holy Bible Recovery Version and listening to our introduction. Later, the Dean made arrangements for us to address the entire student at the chapel where we were given the opportunity to introduce the ministry books, especially the Holy Bible Recovery Version. Soon after the introduction, almost the entire students present in the meeting came to check the Bible. One by one, they purchased the Bible. The result of this was, three boxes full of Bibles were all sold out! And some we had to send by post. Bible students were so hungry and thirsty for spiritual healthy food. Once they saw something worth it, they got hold of it. I do believe, one day, these ones would bear the testimony of Jesus in Nagaland. This is the season of sowing the seed of the word of God.

We also visited another famous Bible college where we met the Librarian and introduced the ministry to him. We were already running out of stock, so perhaps, we might have to come to visit this place at another time when the Lord leads us again.

Due to time constraints, we had only one day to spend in Mokokchung. Though we still wanted to meet more people and also visit a place called Impur, where the gospel came to Nagaland among the Ao tribe for the first time 150 years ago, we could not make it this time. In fact, the entire Nagaland baptist churches will celebrate 150 years anniversary in the first week of Nov 2022.

When the Lord leads again we will come. Still, there are families that need to be met and seekers that need to be shepherded for the Lord's testimony in Mokokchung.

Lord, lead us again to Mokokchung!
