DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 16 (MExN): Christ for the Downtrodden Ministry (CDM) in collaboration with Voices, uplifting women and children, conducted a special Gospel service-cum-free medical camp at Whophong Taro village in Karbi Anglong district, Assam, on Sunday.
President of CDM, Ato Angami, in his message said that the greatest need of mankind in the present world is ‘Evangelism’ or to spread the word God to the unreached. Quoting Mark 16: 15 (“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”), Ato said that the word “go” was not a feeble request but a “great commission” for Christians to preach the Gospel and baptize the unreached. He also said that though Christians may be persecuted (cf. Acts 8:4), they should not abandon their duty as thousands of people were dying everyday without knowing Christ.
Pastor in-charge of Baptist Fellowship Whophong Taro Basti (BFWTB), Thungty Chang, chaired the special Gospel service. Women department of BFWTB also presented a special number. Earlier, treasurer BFWTB, Bapan Chang delivered welcome address while Deacon Seku Khiamniungan led the offertory prayer.
After the service, a medical camp was held for the villagers, especially for children and women. Senior specialist, Dimapur Civil Hospital, Dr. Reho Khieya and child specialist Dr. YG Zhimomi, assisted by four nurses and medical representatives treated the patients and distributed free medicines. Meanwhile, CDM president Ato thanked the doctors, nurses and medical representatives for the concern shown to the poor and needy by volunteering to conduct the medical camp. He also extended gratitude to Naga Council Dimapur president, Savi Liegise, for the constant support to the ministry and also extending financial assistance in Sunday’s Gospel outreach programme.
Whophong Taro is a small village some 5km from Dimapur and is inhabited by a number of communities including Nagas, Karbis, Nepalis and others. There is no medical centre or pharmacy in the village.
