Ministry of the Word to Mon

The Lord has blessed us for the spread of His Word in Longleng, and further led us to visit Aboi on our way to Mon. Though we intended to avoid this small town of the Konyaks due to bad hilly road, still we ended up in this town through the unknown road we took. Therefore, we met the town Pastor and introduced the ministry literature. He welcomed us, received the ministry literature, and also prayed for our onward journey. 

On the way from Longleng to Mon, we got stuck twice. Once, due to rain and sleepery muddy steep road, we had to literally push the vehicle uphill with all our physical might. And with a little exercise of the body and also of the Spirit, calling upon the Lord’s name, we overcame this little hurdle. Then, we had the risk of fuel running out with no fuel station on the way, yet as we enquired in the villages we passed through, we got a fuel supplier where we filled up our vehicle oil tank, a good 30 litres. This reminds us of the need to be filled in the Spirit all the time, all our life long in our Christian journey. Finally, another hurdle was that our vehicle front left wheel tyre got punctured. We had to stop about an hour to fix this. No problem, we got stuck twice, yet not struck!

When we arrived the main town of Mon, a youth Pastor became our guardian angel to arrange for our hospitality and the places and people we need to meet. We simply rested in the Lord as He us led step by step.

Yesterday, Saturday, morning, we visited the only theological school, Mon Theological College, where a gathering of all the students were arranged for our introduction and distribution of the ministry literature. As my Bible reading portion was, I led the students to sing a song on these verses.

“As the hart pants after the streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and appear before God?” (Psalms 42:1-2, RecVer)

Once we introduced the ministry literature, students thronged the book table and grasps the books, as the deer pants for the water their souls thirst for the word of God! 

We praise the Lord that the Lord brought us here at the right time. Had we come earlier, they would have been on their vacation. The Lord exactly knew on what day and at what time to visit this Bible college and He led us accordingly. 

Later, we also met the committee members of the Konyak Baptist Church. We and the ministry literature we introduced were received with warm welcome. After our introduction and distribution of the ministry literature, they all prayed for us. Later, we also met the Gorkha and Sumi churches' Pastors for the same. Therefore, our burden for this outermost past of Nagaland bordering Myanmar was released. Then, we moved on to another city, Mokokchung. 

May the Lord blessed His children with His words. And may He recover His remnants to bear His testimony.
