Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life

outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom
Shalom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 2884

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 3084

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom
Shalom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 2884

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 3084

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom
Shalom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom
Shalom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

P
RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

I can say without exaggeration that those seemingly
insignificant times amp fellowshipping whichdemanded of course commitment and sincere
giving of yourself resulted in shaping and bringing
me to the life I am living today Clearly NCFB has
played a huge role Happy 25 Years NCFB

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Here We Gohellip
B right city lights beckon opportunities galore one moment you feel like you are on a pedestalthe next you hear your bones crackle Everyone at one point of time or another goes through
their deep-dark valleys before they scale their mountaintops Nonetheless to him who trusts in theLord and walks each day in His light situations and circumstances do not define the person It isin those difficult moments that the flicker of HOPE keeps us going and it is in those dark placesthat FAITH needs to burn the brightest
Just as Adullam provided refuge to David when he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 221)metaphorically NCF Bangalore has been a refuge to many It has come a long way starting withstories of humble beginnings sacrifices made and challenges overcome Today it continues tostrive to witness nurture and train men and women to be true Disciples of Christ through prayerfellowship teaching and preaching of the Word of God
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the inception of the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore we give all glory to God for the lives He has touched the connections He has created and the loveand joy He has spread
We remember as little ones sitting around the bonfire that our proud grandparents would tell usstories May that same thrill as we gasped in amazement that similar surreal sense overcome us as
we turn over the pages We aim to make known to delight and to dare everybody who reads thisbook that it is Godrsquos doing and it is marvellous
Herersquos to pleasures big and small connections delicate and strong love extended and receivedHerersquos to finding your true purpose His purpose for you

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

P
RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

P
RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

I ncredible A journey that began 25 years ago with 45 people on the 7th of October 1990
has achieved another milestone Words fail me to express how big hearted God has been
to the Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore Today the ministry of NCF Bangalore has grown
in leaps and bounds for which all glory belongs to God
I salute the pioneers of NCF Bangalore in its infant stage the ones that are sti ll alive as well
as those who have already gone ahead of us What it is today is the fruit of your dedication
and perseverance I want you to be proud of it today
It is indeed a time to reflect and rejoice I quote the words of Apostle Paul in I Corinthians
1311 ldquoWhen I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put childish ways behind merdquo Letrsquos reflect on where we stand today
in our relationship with God and aspire to move forward as matured Christians with a broader
perspective and deeper understanding of our roles as responsible ChristiansNo doubt hardships sickness and deaths were also part of our 25 years journey Nevertheless
our breakthrough moments surpass them all As I recollect those times of happiness
disappointments and challenges faced I rejoice over it For it was under such circumstances
that we have been refined to what we are today May our stories inspire hundreds more
Finally as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary with tears of joy and victory let us also remember
that we have not already obtained fully or achieved everything with this celebration As a
church let us strive to grow deeper in the knowledge of Christ and look forward to a fuller
meaningful and a vibrant life
God isnrsquot finished with us yet
In His service

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master
As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

insignificant times amp fellowshipping whichdemanded of course commitment and sincere
giving of yourself resulted in shaping and bringing
me to the life I am living today Clearly NCFB has
played a huge role Happy 25 Years NCFB

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

P
RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

I bring warm Christ ian greetings on behalf of the NBCC and its constituent
associations and churches to the NCF Bangalore on this historic celebration
Twenty five years anniversary is historic in itself It is a celebration of Godrsquos
faithfulness and how NCFB has experienced many milestones in her existenceThe leadership past and present have kept the faith stayed focused so that
what you see today evolving into a celebration is a testimony of faith resilience
and commitment
The church in Nagaland has come of age We take our faith for granted because
we think being a Christian is a usual thing to do But this is not so in a land far
away from home it is a test of faith and commitment The Diaspora community
of the early church were people of faith who carried their faith hidden in their
actions and lifestyle and kept the gospel burning and living in them away from
their own soil Likewise NCFB has done that you have kept the faith and thegospel alive for the past twenty five years away from home You are part of the
larger community our representative to the world
Our prayers are with you and we wish you Godrsquos blessings on this joyous
celebration Keep your faith alive and burning you may rescue you may save
some poor wandering souls

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 3084

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

I t gives me immense joy to know that NCF Bangalore is completing 25 years
of its existence and celebrating the 25th Anniversary on 11th October 2015
God in His own wisdom had put in the hearts of our earlier student leadersin different cities a desire to have Naga Christian Fellowship which has grown
in size everywhere Also the Lord in His own working brought this ministry
under the ministry of Nagaland Missions Movement Nagaland Baptist Church
Council
Naga Christian Fellowship in different cities has been the driving force in
bringing young people to Christ and discipleship It is not just a fellowship of
students but we have many working people families in the fellowship which
can have the impact on others in the cities and at home
As we celebrate the 25 years of ministry let us look ahead with a commitmentto reach out to the world with the Gospel

I t is an honour for me to congratulate the NCF Bangalore on 25 faithful yearsof obeying the command of the Master

the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

As I write this the first afternoon Sunday service comes to my mind not
knowing how what and where to go But with full assurance of His presence
and faithfulness we obeyed Him Looking back I am able to say that God loves
the Nagas It is so true that His blessings are immense
May the Almighty do exceedingly and abundantly much more than we ask or
think according to the power that works in us
Our hearts and our prayers are with NCFB and wishing you Godrsquos blessings as you march forward to build His Kingdom

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

it continues to guide and nurture Nagas and others

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

T W E N T Y ndash F I V E ldquoOh to be twenty-five againrdquo as some of us might wish How wonderful it
is to be twenty-five It happens only once in a lifetime because we donrsquot
grow younger and time does not move backward May your celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary be memorable and blessed
As I reminisce today I did not have the slightest inkling of the Naga Christian
Fellowship Bangalore (NCFB) being that young when my family and I served
as its associate chaplain from November 1998 to July 2001 The membershipof NCFB comprised of mostly young and aspiring students but it was vibrant and thriving
We had strong lay leaders providing superb leadership With the passage of fifteen years since
I left for the United States and under new and talented leadership I have no doubt that the
Fellowship is even stronger and more vibrant today
Twenty-five is a good time to be because it is a period when one is neither too young nor
too old It is a season when a personrsquos life is filled with dreams ndash dreams of job success love
marriage etc It is an exciting time to be alive In other words NCFB is in its prime years of
life And so are most of its members As such individually and corporately I hope that your
lives are filled with dreams and aspirations
I know some aspiring and hardworking students during my time in Bengaluru who are now
successful and respectable citizens and leaders So to all my promising sisters and brothers
I say to you ldquoBegin with the end in mindrdquo as Stephen Covey (author of The Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People) would say It is easy to get lost or sidetracked But always imagine
what you could become in just a few more years from now if you presently devote yourself to
hard work and deep commitment for that which you have been wanting to obtain Have fun
and enjoy your God-given youthful life but never lose sight of ldquothe endrdquo when you can bask
on and enjoy the fruit of your labor
Shalom ndash Be Well

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 2884

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 3084

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness

introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

N CF Bangalore is l ike a service centre You have been on the wheels for
years fuel is a lmost running out the tyre bolts and screws are being
loosened the engine is heating up the pick-up is being affected and hence
youre feeling rusty and exhausted with lifes long journey You are anxious and
fearful of your journey in this city and then you unexpectedly come across
this service centre ndash NCFB Phew a big relief The process of servicing here is
unique and differs from person to person
I was at the crossroads when I found NCFB A fresh theological graduate ready
to shake up the world However in no time the realization hit my head like
Newtons apple that the world is a tough place which doesnrsquot easily get shakenFor some time it was a wilderness experience of trying to find the right place in Gods ministry
I attempted living out my dream of doing ldquomission through businessrdquo by running a small Naga
home food eatery Little did I realize that I was on shaky ground
At this lowest ebb in my life is when I received a constant inflow of trust and confidence poured
into me by Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and his wife Tosang My prayer to be more focused in
ministry was answered when I was invited to join NCFB as an Associate Pastor
Many have come and many have gone during my association with NCFB It was not easy for
those who worked the night shifts nor for the ones in the airline industry that had had a
hectic day flying yet they would reach for worship practice on time I learnt a lot from theirlove and commitment for the Lord Even classes on Sundays never hindered some although
that could have been a good excuse to miss Sunday services Exams did not stop them from
attending camps powerhouse fellowships and other church activities They continued to
excel in their studies How can I forget those coming to church straight from work in their
uniforms Some even brought packed dinner just to make sure they were on time for the All
Night Prayer These energetic young bunch faithfully stayed awake all night praying in tears
seeking Gods will and interceding for their dear ones
The church that comprised mainly of students and some young working people with a handful
of families always had enough even after meeting the needs of two pastors and could still hostcountless events and camps The list can go on and on
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary these are the real heroes of NCFB and I salute them I
am sure there are many like me who came in rusty but went out polished All this happened
only because somebody above was in control In my entire ministry till today I sense Gods
special presence As NCFB grows in age may she accomplish more for His kingdom Have a
blessed 25th Anniversary

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

T he Silver Jubilee of Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is yet another
milestone in the history of Naga Diaspora
At the outset I would like to congratulate Pastor Rev Zhabu Yimsung and NCF
Bangalore on celebrating 25 glorious years of its existence
On this occasion it is my great joy and privilege to share our grat itude to NCF
Bangalore for the immeasurable contribution towards NCF Chennai when it
needed the most NCF Bangalore led by the their Chaplain Mr Subong Aier
visited NCF Chennai for the first time on 2151 October 2001 and had a warm
fellowship encouraging NCF Chennai to continue with the same zeal The
NCF Bangalore was also instrumental in reigniting NCF Chennairsquos growth byproviding financial aid for the monthly church rent and monthly allowance
of Rs500- for the convener for a period of one year because NCF Chennai
didnt have a full-time Pastor till September 2006 Therefore the history of
NCF Chennai is incomplete without NCF Bangalore and thus this bondage is
cherished till today
As you celebrate Silver Jubilee I extend my warmest greetings and wishing you
to continue to be a blessing for all
Yours in Christ

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 3084

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash

of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 3084

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human

have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the

the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash

bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments

is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullncf-bangalore-25th-anniversary-souvenir-adullam-2015 2884

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

On its 25th anniversary my hope and prayer is that
it continues to guide and nurture Nagas and others
alike in their walk with God

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

NCF B ANGALORE through the AGES T he eighties saw many of our young and promising brothers and siste rs head out of the state in pursuit of higher
education Bangalore the Garden City with its pleasant weather and a vast array of opportunities became
one of the most favoured destinations for students With this growing population of the student community there
arose the need to safeguard and nourish our students with the Word of God to have fellowship with one another
and to help each other in times of need sickness and death
THE GENESIS
The winter of 1989 gave birth to the idea of inducting
a student Chaplain At the Christmas cum New Year
celebration in 1989 it was proposed that a request
be sent to the Nagaland Missionary Movement
(NMM) presently known as Naga Missions
Movement for a Chaplain Mr Allen Longkumer
and his wife Aola who came with the experience
of serving as missionaries in the Andaman and
Nicobar islands for seven years (1982-1989) werethen studying at SAIACS Bangalore The Naga
community therefore approached them to take
up the leadership alongside his final year study
at SAIACS
In January 1990 Allen visited the NMM office and
deliberated with the Director Rev Alemmeren and
Rev Dr Ellis Murry and it was decided that Allen
should take up the Chaplaincy in Bangalore On
8th September 1990 Allen was installed as the first
Chaplain of NCF Bangalore in a Freshersrsquo Day
gathering of the Naga Students Union Bangalore
With this NCF Bangalore came into being In its
first meeting it was agreed that the fellowship would
be called the Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF) with
the vision to accommodate all Nagas irrespective of
their denomination
THE PIONEERING (1990-1993)
Finding a place of worship was the first concern
On 7th October 1990 NCF Bangalore held its
first service in the Community Hall at Vasanth
Nagar Forty five people attended the service and
an offering of Rs 18250 was collected Albeit this
modest beginning providence was at hand through
the generosity of well-wishers The Asukhomi
Baptist Church that supported Allen and Aola
during their days in the Andaman and NicobarIslands sponsored Chaplainrsquos salary for a year
These generous contributions helped NCF meet its
needs in the early years
In a meeting of Naga elders and the office bearers
of Naga Students Union Bangalore Allen and
some elders were entrusted with the foremost
responsibility of finding a place for Sunday worship
The All Saintsrsquo Church under the leadership of the
then Presbyter Rev Jeevan Babu opened their
church building free of charge Thus from 28 th
October 1990 NCF Bangalore had its service at the
All Saintsrsquo Church
The year 1991 saw the first baptism and first youth
camp of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr N Purtoshi
the then Mission Secretary of Ao Baptist Church

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its

place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town

NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building

of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone

THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Council (ABAM ndash Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang)
baptised four boys at Bangalore Baptist Church The
first youth camp was held from 27th - 30th December
1991 at Elim Whitefield
As pioneers Allen and the leadership team did not
have a blueprint to follow Nevertheless with the
vision to help students project their identity as true
Christians they not only encouraged the students to
attend NCF fellowship but also motivated them to
excel in academics Allenrsquos surprise visits provided
fatherly discipline which they never would have
experienced being far away from home After
three years of service in April 1993 Allen left
NCF Bangalore to join NMM office in Dimapur
Rev Dr Wati Longchar the then Secretary of NCFB
took charge of the fellowship

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

THE TR ANSITION (1996-2002)
NCF Bangalore was without a Chaplain for
about three years (1993ndash1996) Nevertheless the
fellowship continued through the concerted efforts
of the leadership committee under the Secretary
It was at this juncture in 1996 that Rev Subong
Aier who was studying at SAIACS Bangalore
was approached by the elders of the fellowship to
take up the Chaplaincy Rev Subong and his wife
Narola on seeing the dire need of the students for
a spiritual father figure consented and joined the
ministry first as a part t ime from 1996 to 1997 and
with his graduation from SAIACS on full time from
1997 to 2002
Rev Subong had to start on a difficult note On
taking over the leadership he realised that the

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

absence of a Chaplain had taken its toll on the
fellowship The attendance was low However with
prayer and perseverance came about a gradual
increase in the strength of the fellowship Support
for the Chaplainrsquos salary came from Mopungchuket
Baptist Church from 1997-2005 Rev Subong wasaptly supported by Dr Tezenlo Thong as the
Associate Chaplain from November 1998 to July
2001
One significant development during Rev Subongrsquos
tenure was the revision of the constitution of NCF
Bangalore where the post of a Chairman was created
to facilitate the ministry Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo was
thereby appointed as the first Chairman In 2002
when Rev Subong left the NCF Chaplaincy it wasthe Chairman and the Executive Committee that
looked after the affairs of the fellowship
In the year 2002 Rev Dr Ricky Medom the
Chaplain of NCF Delhi visited Bangalore His
presentation of the Tyrannus Halls in Delhi
and Pune greatly impressed the NCF Bangalore
leadership Consequently Wg Cdr Alan Shaiza
(Retd) the Convenor for setting up Tyrannus Hallin Bangalore submitted a proposal to the Tyrannus
Hall International (THI) USA on 23rd May 2003

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

THE PROGRESSION (2003 till date)
Meanwhile a request was sent to NMM for a new
Chaplain The result was the appointment of
Rev Zhabu Yimsung a graduate of UBS Pune He
had been serving as an Associate Pastor at Baptist
Mission Church (BMC) Kohima since November
1999 For Rev Zhabu and his wife Tosang NMM
and NCF Bangalorersquos invitation was an affirmation

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town

NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008

of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone

THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

to their passion For many years they had felt God
nurturing a desire to serve ldquoa young crowd anda mixed communityrdquo BMC understood it as an
opportunity to utilise his potential to the maximum
and was sent with the churchrsquos blessings
On June 8 2003 Rev Zhabu joined NCF Bangalore
as the Chaplain As with his predecessors he had to
overcome a lot of challenges First of all the financial
condition was acute during the initial period
despite some irregular financial support from NMMHowever support from BMC towards the Chaplainrsquos
salary for four years (2006 ndash 2009) helped shore off
the early financial challenges In 2010 when BMC
withdrew its support NCF Bangalore was already
in a position to take up the responsibility of its
financial needs without any support from outside
Secondly low attendance and casual-nature of the
fellowship was a challenge To deal with this the
NCFB leadership decided to structure the fellowship
into a church-like set up To this end initiativeslike sermons to imbibe discipleship accountability
and ownership membership system and programs
directed towards engaging more people in the
fellowship were implemented
Meanwhile after numerous correspondence during
Dr Corwin and his wife Elouisersquos visit to Bangalore
on 15th February 2004 the THI announced its
decision to partner with NCF Bangalore in openinga Tyrannus hall in Bangalore Thus the Bangalore
Tyrannus Hall (BTH) became functional with the
declaration by Rev Bonny Resu the Honorary
Executive Secretary of South Asia Tyrannus Hall
Association (SATHA) on 16th July 2005
As per the directives from NMM office on 26th July
2007 the proposed nomenclature from Chaplain
to Pastor was accepted
Over the years NCF Bangalore has responded to
various needs of the Naga community in BangaloreOne of the significant features of the ministry of
NCF Bangalore is the expansion of its involvement
beyond Sunday worship services Two very
significant activities were introduced to reach out
to people apart from the Sunday worship service
First the All Night Prayer (ANP) was started on
29th September 2006 at Mizpah Telegu Church
Frazer Town with forty five people Today it is a
much anticipated event held every two months atSAIACS campus Secondly the Powerhouse that
began on 1st September 2010 with the sole purpose
to have fellowship with those who are not able to
make it regularly to church due to work or other
personal reasons Today powerhouse meetings are
held in four pockets across Bangalore In addition
NCF Bangalore organises seminars annual youth
camps and exclusive retreats for the singles families
and the working professionals to serve and enhance
the spiritual needs of various sections of the Nagacommunity in Bangalore
On sensing the need to assist Pastor in the light
of the growth of the ministry NCF Bangalore
appointed Mr Caleb Kent as an Associate Pastor
on 15th August 2010 He served until February 2013
and joined SAIACS for further studies In the same
year Mr Ranglung Salie was appointed as a Church
Assistant for a year (April 2013 to March 2014)
THE RELOCATION
For eighteen years (October 1990 - December 2008)
All Saintsrsquo Church provided a comfortable place
of worship for NCF Bangalore Their ecumenical
gesture and expression of Christian love was an
invaluable asset for NCF Bangalore during its
formative years However in 2008 with All Saintsrsquo

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through

away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Church having to host another program on Sundayevenings NCF Bangalore was asked to find another
place of worship Meanwhile Richmond Town
Methodist Church (RTMC) willingly welcomed
NCF Bangalore to use their church facilities
NCF Bangalore had its first meeting at RMTC on
21st December 2008
Despite the generous help rendered by the above
mentioned local churches the leadership of NCF
Bangalore felt that it required a facility of its ownto carry out their programs unhindered Thus in
its annual General Body Meeting on 5th April 2008
a decision was taken to initiate a Church Building
Project In a major step towards this dream a plot
of land measuring 5238 sq ft at Esther Eden North
Bangalore was acquired The foundation stone
for NCF Bangalore church building was laid by
Rev Zhabu Yimsung Pastor of NCF Bangalore on
4th
July 2015
THE PATH AHEAD
God has a lways been the refuge for NCF Bangalore
ever since its inception and His faithfulness for
the last twenty five years is evident The scope of
ministry has grown from its simple goal of bringing
Nagas of Bangalore together for fellowship to a
multi-dimensional ministry It now caters to the
varied needs of a community that exhibits all thecomplexities of a cosmopolitan community Giving
spiritual guidance to the ever mobile student
community has been a major focus of the NCF
ministry Over the years it has provided a platform
to many young boys and girls to discover their God
given potentials and talents
Another distinct community within NCF Bangalore
is the working youths Through initiatives like
Working Peoples Forum it tries to bring youngprofessionals to forefront Many such young men
and women have also found spiritual fulfilment
through involvement in various NCF committees
and programmes Finally a number of promising
young families have also found a spiritual home in
NCF Bangalore It also accommodates people from
all walks of life irrespective of their faith culture
tradition or nationalities
The city of Bangalore attracts a lot of people every
year for education and work Therefore the scope
of ministry in reaching out to each one has become
wider and more challenging than ever before
Nevertheless moving forward Godrsquos faithfulness
over the years is a tangible basis of confidence and
hope for NCF Bangalore
Truly God has been our Adullam

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments

is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness

introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

2015 is a special year for Naga Christian
Fellowship (NCF) in Bangalore We
are celebrating 25 years of Godrsquos faithfulness to
proclaim that God is our refuge In the early 80s the
number of Naga students in Bangalore was less than100 We used to meet occasionally for prayer and
fellowship As the number of student community
and families grew we realised the need for Nagas as
a family from Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh Assam
Manipur and even from Myanmar to meet together
on a regular basis for prayer and worship The All
Saintsrsquo Church in Bangalore provided space for
worship and fellowship NCF became the Adullam
for the Nagas not just for spiritual nourishment
but also ldquohomerdquo for many young people who wereexperiencing loneliness cultural adjustment
challenges and problem in studies financial crises
and distress NCF provided guidance and support
during those difficult times It is amazing that the
Naga community has grown to thousands today
We are celebrating 25 years of the Lordrsquos favour ndash
Jubilee is an opportunity to collectively affirm Godrsquos
Adullam in our journey of faith God has been the
refuge in the past and continues to be so even today We see this in the life of NCF Bangalore Godrsquos
liberating presence amidst us provides us the ability
to start anew Therefore jubilee is an opportunity
to look back at the past and the present and to look
forward to a new future The affirmation of Godrsquos
Adullam is crucial in jubilee celebration It includes
not only celebration of an event but also demands
restoration of economic equality withdrawal from
wanton exploitation of nature by
establishing rest renewal of social
relationships by forgiving debts
freeing slaves and re-organizing
ownership resources Therefore jubilee is aninvitation to participate in the dreams and designs
of the Divine to recreate relations among living
beings through transformative action repentance
and renewal of history
For the people of Israel Jubilee celebration is not
just a celebration on a particular day but it extends
all throughout the year It is the Lordrsquos year where
people are expected to do justice in four areas
ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE
Nobody should cultivate during the jubilee year The
land must be given rest Animals working in fields
should be given rest In modern context it is not
possible to live without work and cultivation People
will die of hunger The meaning of the phrase lsquothe
land and animal must be given restrsquo implies that
we should have a limit to our wants and desires We
should restrain ourselves from over-exploitationand misuse of Godrsquos resources one should choose
a simple lifestyle We should care and protect all
Godrsquos creatures because they are all unique in His
sight When tsunami hit South and South East
Asia in 2004 many people lost their lives But we
learnt that not many animals died They ran away
to safer places several days ahead In Thailand as
tourists were enjoying elephant rides the elephants
7232019 NCF Bangalore - 25th Anniversary SOUVENIR ADULLAM 2015

suddenly started running towards the mountain sideThe owners and tourists were terrified and worried
Are they safe Friends started cr ying The owners
and tourists became restless and did not know what
to do All of a sudden the mighty tsunami swept
them away But those tourists who were taken by
elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

elephants to the mountain side were safe The
animals had already left months and weeks ahead
to safer places Imagine the discerning power of
animals Every creature every plant even a small
piece of land is powerful and unique in their own way All these are Godrsquos creation and must be taken
care of protected and preserved Without doing
justice to Godrsquos entire creation human beings
cannot attain liberation and salvation We cannot
talk about Godrsquos Adullam amidst us without doing
justice to environment Jubilee demands a new
attitude of life towards Godrsquos creation ndash an attitude
of love care and respect
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year all debts must be forgiven
A person without food justice cannot experience
the presence of God Land and properties must be
returned to the original owners Nobody should be
cheated oppressed and manipulated for onersquos selfish
interest An Indonesian folktale goes like this ldquoOnce
there was a bird with two heads One neck was long
the other one was very short The long neck-headcould reach everything and would enjoy all kinds
of fruits - apples oranges mangoes The second
head had a very short neck so it was difficult for it
to reach the fruits and food The short neck-head
could only see the oranges and apples but could not
reach them The short neck-head said to the long
neck head lsquoGive me a few apples and oranges I am
very hungry I do not want to go hungry Please give
me some foodrsquo But the long neck-head answeredlsquoNo All of the oranges and apples are mine I am
blessed to have got a long neck It is your own fault
that you have a short neck Why donrsquot you pray for a
long neck like mine All the oranges and apples are
mine not yoursrsquo On hearing these unkind words
the short-neck head felt very sad insulted and cried
Being very hungry the short-neck head scraped the
ground for food and ate the poisonous tuber from
the ground Consequently the whole body of the
bird got poisoned and the bird diedrdquo This is thesituation of the poor and rich everywhere The
whole humanity is like one body But in this world
there are some nations and some people within a
nation with immense advantage to manipulate and
accumulate wealth at the expense of others Some
have a lot to eat while others do not have anything
When the poor nation or poor people ask for help
the rich nations and rich people simply say ldquoit is
because of your own faultrdquo Jubilee year demandsldquoa life of sharingrdquo and economic justice Without
doing justice to the poor the whole world will suffer
just like the whole body of the double headed-bird
Jubilee demands us to work and raise prophetic
voice against injustice and exploitation of the poor
SOCIAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year orphans and widows must
be taken special care of Their needs must be lookedafter and social security must be given to them I
still remember an incident while working with the
Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) In the middle
of January 2005 CCA called for an emergency
meeting of Christian relief workers in Aceh
province in Indonesia where tsunami had swept
the whole city Muslim leaders in Aceh province
informed tsunami surv ivors not to accept any help

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

from Christian organizations Instead of helpingthose survivors some Christians were busy in the
construction of church buildings converting people
in relief camps Also many orphans were taken to
Jakarta and other cities with the aim of converting
them Some Christians even threatened that God
would send more devastating tsunami if they did not
believe in Jesus Christ and that God was teaching a
lesson to convert them to Christian faith Because of
such Christian attitude the impression of Muslims
was that Christians get involved in relief work not tobring hope to those suffering and helpless orphans
and widows but to Christianize them It is true that
many Christians speak of social justice but with
an objective of converting them instead of sharing
the love of Jesus Christ The Jubilee understanding
of social justice goes beyond narrow religious or
tribal boundaries It is an inclusive community that
includes all religious social ethnic and cultural
communities We work for the whole humanity Howdo we understand jubilee in the context of social
justice
POLITICAL JUSTICE
During the Jubilee year slaves must be set free
Relatives and dear ones were obliged to redeem
them Bonded labourers must also be set free
Those in captivity must also be liberated Jubilee
year is a year of celebration for freedom We are aminority community and we do not have political
power to bring changes in political structure But
still we can raise prophetic voice Imagine how Lady
Meng challenged the autocratic and authoritarian
merciless rulers in China The emperor was
constructing which is known today as ldquothe Great
Wall of Chinardquo one of the Seven Wonders of the World against the foreign invaders To appease the
spirit the emperor decided to sacrifice one human
being every 3 kilometres The Great Wall is 6000
kilometres Imagine how many human lives would
have been sacrificed Lady Meng had just married
but their marriage ended within a few months
because her husband was taken to be sacrificed She
was just a poor ordinary woman but she challenged
and revealed the cruel merciless inhuman
character of the rulers and king Her courageousconfrontation changed the decision of the king
Till today the spirit of Lady Meng remains in the
hearts of many Chinese and she has become the
political legend in Chinese history She showed to
the world that even a powerless person like her can
bring political justice Can we also bring political
justice Yes by raising prophetic voice individually
and collectively
As we celebrate 25 years of Godrsquos Adullam in our journey of faith in this city of Bangalore let us be
reminded of Godrsquos Adullam becoming a reality
when we genuinely mdash
bull Repent and turn to the Living God
bull Give the land a chance to rest
bull Protect the lives of people who are weak and
under the threat of death
bull Fight for economic justice for all so that allmouths experience food justice
bull Choose life against destruction and affirm
justice
Let the spirit of Jubilee shine out all through
the world

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship
that embodies the very fabric of 1 John 13 and Hebrews 1024-25 and where every individual evolves as
the lsquosaltrsquo and lsquolightrsquo of the society

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

The First Treasurer of NCF Bangalore Rev Senokhape Losou
I am very happy to learn that Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore is going to celebrate
25th Anniversary of its inception I give thanks to God and Nagaland Missions Movement
for opening the way for the Naga Christians to have fellowship and worship God outside
of Nagaland
Naga Christian Fellowship had a very humble beginning with a little more than ten family holders
and young men and women Almost all of them were students except one or two workers Our deepestgratitude goes to All Saintsrsquo Church for allowing us to have fellowship and worship services in their
Church Apart from worship services they also allowed us to use the facilities available in the Church We
were so fortunate to have Mr Allen Longkumer as our 1st Chaplain and his wife for their hard work and
service rendered to Naga Christians over there We were also fortunate to have an elderly man l ike Late
Dr I Ben Wati when we started our Fellowship whose presence and support was very helpful and
encouraging
I fondly remember the tea and snacks we had together after the service It was simple yet very meaningful
This kind of fellowship brought us together giving platform whereby we could know each other and share
our joys difficulties and problems and encourage one another Naga Christian Fellowship served as ameans through which we could extend help to one another in times of need
I hope and believe that Naga Christian Fellowship will continue to cater to the physical and spiritual needs
of the students as well as others and work for the extension of Godrsquos great kingdom
God bless you all Have a blessed program

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

God is good and we praise him for 25 years of fruitful ministry that he has faithfully brought
NCF Bangalore through We fondly remember our time in NCFB where we enjoyed many joyous moments
of worship fun and fellowship prayer and encouragement
Time flies and it is amazing that NCFB is going to celebrate its 25th year of inception We know that NCFB
is a dynamic congregation and playing a crucial role in nurturing guiding guarding many precious lives
It is our earnest prayer that God will use you much for his glory even in the days to come

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

As you celebrate the 25th Anniversary my family joins with you praising God for all His goodness through
the years and we know He will continue to bless everyone who comes to be part of the NCFB family like we have been It has been very evident how God has blessed my life through NCFB as I started my journey
away from home on my own getting married and now a proud father of two kids It is our prayer that the
church continues to be a channel for Godrsquos plans and vision in the lives of everyone who comes through
your doors

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

I clearly remember my first Sunday service at Naga Christian Fellowship Bangalore in the year 2003 Since
then for the next 11 years of my stay in the city it had been a constant source of blessing to me The various
church activities and programs were much looked forward to and there are many wonderful memories
that will always be cherished I also met some amazing friends along the way
In spite of all our shortcomings and flaws being a part of the editorial team for the NCFB newsletter ldquoThe
Morungrdquo was a humbling experience NCFB wil l always remain special and close to my heart

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness

introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

The First Chairman of NCF Bangalore Rev Dr Kavito Zhimo (June 2002 ndash March 2004)
I trsquos not how long one lived but how meaningfully one lived is what eventually matters the
most In life we all go through varied experiences some of which leave deep imprints in
our lives and we fondly cherish those memories One such eventful experience in my life
came about in May 2000 when I along with my wife and two children landed at Bangalore
for my Doctoral studies in Theology My first attendance in Naga Christian Fellowship at
All Saintsrsquo Church followed by socializing with teacoffee after the service was unique and memorable At
this point of time I was yet to realize that I would be carrying a tea urn or would be entrusting families
to make teacoffee every Sunday for the next 2 to 3 years
I learned and benefitted even more than what I could do for the fellowship I wish to share this particular
experience which had deeply impacted my life in more than one way The youth camp in the year 2003 at
ECC White Field Bangalore Our plan was to have students who were never a part of the church Each NCF
member was to identify them and encourage them to attend the camp The response was overwhelming
More than 70 students enrolled and these young people were those who were in need of repentance and
in search for purpose in their lives I vividly remember the evening service on the last day The praise
and worship session went on till 12 midnight and the management of the centre had to stop us But thecampers responded ldquoAll these days we have been dancing for Satan tonight we want to dance for Christrdquo
Many students gave their lives to Christ and some even personally came and shared with me ldquohad it not
been for this camp I would havehelliprdquo With tears XY sa id ldquomy life was going meaninglessrdquo
It has been 11 years since I left Bangalore but the people with whom I worked with as a team students with
whom I encountered as part of ministry are an inspiration in my ministry today Not all but some working
here in Nagaland as successful leaders are making an impact in our society God is raising young leaders
today and truly NCF Bangalore shares that success I thank the History Committee of NCF Bangalorersquos
25th Anniversary for giving me a column to share my experiences
Shalom
Yours in His service

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash
ldquoI am finishedrdquo
God bless the NCFB ministry

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Time has gone so fast
NCFB was a channel of blessing to so many families and young people in colleges and schools during my
stay in Bangalore in 2000-2004 I am so glad that the mantel is being carried on to this day
As we str ive forward to what God has created us to be we must remember to fully enjoy the process of
reaching that goal Donrsquot become embittered and disgruntled Donrsquot carry the baggage of anger and
bitterness if you want to reach your full potential
Let the unstoppable and eternally truthful word of God be your guiding light as you walk out your
purpose here on earth Let Jesus be first in your life and all else wil l fall in place May God continue to
bless NCFB Blessings

NCFB has truly been a spiritual backbone for me during my stay in Bangalore The priceless memories
and relationships which I carr ied along were an added bonus I have had the privilege of getting involved
in the NCFB ministry I fondly remember the times of sharing each otherrsquos burden and praying in tears
for one another within the Praise amp Worship team This is when I reaffirmed the fact that fellowship for
sure constitutes an integral part of our Christian life
Its activities werenrsquot just limited to the confines of the Church but extended to dinner fellowships and
outings which I treasure always By the way if you are looking for a delightful meal in Bangalore get in
touch with Pastorrsquos family
The fun times during NCFB Camps were simply great Many memories but one instancemdashduring one
of the Camprsquos quiz time Questionmdash What were Jesusrsquo last words on the Cross One camper answered mdash

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

is scattered

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Spiritual growth building relationships and sharing the love of God are some of the most important aspects
of Christian l ife When I came to Bangalore to pursue my Bachelorrsquos degree in 2003 NCFB was just that
place where I could grow spiritually and meet fellow believers These friends were of great support and
till today we continue to pray encourage each other and grow in the Lord I was also blessed through the
involvement in different NCFB activ ities and cherish those memories I encourage every young man and
woman to get involved even in the simplest way and I assure you that you will be blessed beyond measure

We were with NCFB from 1999 to early 2004 and came back again in 2010 as a family We recall with joy
the time of fellowship and learning through the various Bible study cells retreats camps and variouscommittee meetings and even the Naga harmony choir that represented NCFB at various chorale events
in the early 2000rsquos We made many wonderful friends and treasure those friendships though everyone
is scattered
Dr Ben Watirsquos constant exhort-ation to ldquostart well continue well and finish wellrdquo comes to our mind as
we recall the journey of NCFB thus far People come and go but the ministry of NCF continues
May NCFB continue to be a blessing to many more people for years to come

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings in the name of Jesus Irsquom happy to know that NCF Bangalore is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
In the year 1995 I was transferred from Mumbai to Bangalore My family was in Bangalore from 1995 to
2001 (June) Throughout our stay we were closely associated with NCFB We indeed enjoyed the worship
services We really miss NCFB Back at home the Nagas of different tribes live in different places and
long distances from one another and as such it becomes difficult to meet and know one another But
NCFB brings together the Nagas in fellowship to know one another NCF really plays a great role not only
spiritually but also in strengthening the Christian brotherhood and love among the Nagas
May NCFB continue to provide spiritual need of our Naga people in Bangalore and also strengthen our
love and bond Wishing the celebration a grand success

One summer Sunday afternoon of rsquo97 I stepped into the beautifully built All Saintsrsquo Church curious
and nervous to attend the NCF Bangalore worship as a young teenager with a sincere thirst to grow in
the Lord but God blessed me much more beautifully than what I sought
Nearly one and half decade of worship amp association with NCFB has given me the wonderful priv ilege tomeet and work with amazing people like (Lt) Rev Dr I Ben Wati Uncle NL Mao Rev Dr Tenzenlo
Thong and many others The love for the Lord and the love for each other as people with deep sense of
belonging were truly realized here and this I cherish the most
I am greatly indebted to this fellowship for enabling me to grow as His child amp servant What I am today
is because of what NCFB was to me Blessings

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

In my five years of stay in Bangalore NCFB has not
only been a church but a home away from home
On its 25th anniversary my hope and prayer is that
it continues to guide and nurture Nagas and others
alike in their walk with God

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

25 years of fellowship with Godrsquos people I am delighted to be a part of this celebration of Godrsquos faithfulness
17 years ago on my first Sunday in Bangalore our then NCFB Chaplain Uncle Subong Aier and family
introduced me to NCFB Family This fellowship is where I experienced the core of Kingdom living mdash
worship fellowship and discipleship Worshipmdashfocused on Jesus exalting Him responding to Him
Fellowshipmdashfocusing on others and how we might encourage them Discipleshipmdashfocusing on ourselves
and applying Godrsquos truth to life
May NCFB continue to be a vibrant familymdasha group of diverse individuals but united in Christ a fellowship

Back in 2002 during the initial days I got introduced to NCF Bangalore This I believe was the beginning
of home away from home experience which was genuine and life transforming because it was God
-centered God made a perfect way for me to know him and serve him with my gifts and talents especially
through the NCFB praise and worship ministry So li fe in Bangalore was more than just studies but God
could effectually work in me to impact and to live a wholesome life I was blessed to be surrounded by
Godly fr iends and leaders who helped me choose and pursue a purposeful life A fter completing masters
in Biotechnology I came back to Nagaland only to experience Godrsquos unending favour NCFB was where
my heart truly began to experience the reality of God and I realised that as long as I pursue and live this
reality anywhere I go Irsquom always home and I donrsquot only survive but I live life in abundance Irsquom ever so
grateful to God for NCFB

I can clearly recall the first All Night Prayer at Mizpah Church Cox town in September 2006 which later
turned out to be a spiritual lifeline for NCFB ministry The time when NCFB had to shift the worshipplace from All Saintsrsquo Church I remember late Rev Dr Theodore Williams (founder of IEM) strongly
vouched for NCFB to worship at RTMC which continues even today As a Mission Convenor then we
had a good breakthrough in NCFB Mission by reaching out to the Tibetans by visiting Bylakupe Godlsquos
faithfulness and grace had been the drive for NCFB ministry May the ministry continue to grow and
strive under His guidance

shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

I can say without exaggeration that those seemingly
insignificant times amp fellowshipping whichdemanded of course commitment and sincere
giving of yourself resulted in shaping and bringing
me to the life I am living today Clearly NCFB has
played a huge role Happy 25 Years NCFB

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

insignificant times amp fellowshipping whichdemanded of course commitment and sincere
giving of yourself resulted in shaping and bringing
me to the life I am living today Clearly NCFB has
played a huge role Happy 25 Years NCFB

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

only been a church but a home away from home
On its 25th anniversary my hope and prayer is that
it continues to guide and nurture Nagas and others
alike in their walk with God

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful
Thank you NCFB

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord

Greetings to all from my family Anniversary is a celebration
of Godrsquos faithfulness It is not something we celebrate asoften as we want
My memory dates back to 1990 when Allen amp Aola invited
Rev Subong Aier and me for dinner During our fellowship Allen
shared about his calling to be the Chaplain of NCFB Listening
to him was like a dream Today I praise God for His faithfulness
over the years to the NCFB and to our family To be a part of this
25th Anniversary celebration is overwhelming
Itrsquos an honor to have been involved in NCFB ministry under
the leadership of all the three Pastors Ever since we moved toBangalore in 2002 NCFB has become the springs of our spiritual food
It is our prayer that God will abundantly bless all the NCFB members and those who are yet to come till
we meet to celebrate the 50th year of Godrsquos faithfulness
Amen

I t gives us great satisfaction and joy as we recollect how theLord has blessed us over the last 23 years through NCFB We
have been a part of the NCFB family since 1992 It started out
with the church not having enough members during services like
Easter Palm Sunday as the students would be on their holidays
So it would be a holiday for NCFB as well
Our family have seen and experienced the faithfulness of God
through the fellowship We have learnt so much by working
together with many wonderful and gifted people Their friendship
and testimonies are a great blessing to us Our children werefortunate to be a part of the Sunday school This is indeed a great
opportunity to be able to leave our children under the care of
such dedicated and dynamic teachers for their spiritual growth The transformation we saw in them as
they took on various responsibilities their participation in the youth camps organised by the church and
being a part of the ushering team we couldnrsquot have been more grateful

RAISE GOD For what He has done is doing and will
continue to do for His glory through NCFB It is such a joy to witness how NCFB has become a part and parcel of Godrsquos mighty
plan for the spiritual growth of many in Bangalore over the years
I remember coming to Bangalore as a young teenager way back in
1995 However my associat ion with the NCFB began only in 1997
when I was inducted as one of the Sunday school teachers It was
here that I discovered Godrsquos ultimate purpose for my life Now
as a family man with wife and 2 kids the fellowship we enjoy with
the fellow believers at NCFB is immeasurable We will treasure it
Letrsquos keep it up The Lord has chosen us in these last days to carrythe last baton to the finish l ine
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I came to Bangalore in October 1997 NCFB is a home away from
home a platform for providing spiritual guidance enabling
people to come together and stay connected After a hectic and
busy week attending Sunday services brings back the joy andrefreshes our relationship with God Though a nominal Christian
I always look forward to attending Sunday fellowship meeting
friends and interacting with new faces as well
My relationship with my creator is intact and growing through
the fellowship I enjoy the praise amp worship the sermons and the
special songs Our family has received abundant blessings over
the years Occasions like Christmas and Easter are the times one
really misses near and dear ones back home but nothing fall short by being part of the NCFB family here
NCFB puts forward the best and makes sure that no one misses home
For my children attending Sunday school has a tremendous impact on their lives The basic lessons on the
Bible life of Jesus Christ singing chorus reading Bible verses and various other activities have encouraged
and nurtured them to a great extent This is a life changing process and may the Lord continue to bless
NCFB Last but not the least may the Almighty God bless us all

CF Bangalore has been a wonderful blessing to our
family We have been part of the NCFB for over 6 years
now it has been one of the channels which helped Kailash to
accept the Lord and we thank God for this path that he used
NCFB has nurtured our relationship with the Lord and brought
us closer to Him through its many fellowships and programs
Our favourite of these is the All Night Prayer (ANP) It has been
pivotal in our prayer life and has taught us how sacrificial prayers
are almost always answered and enhanced our spiritual life ANP
has opened new doors and blessings have poured into our lives
through it We want to thank God for Pastor and family for theirtimely support help and initiatives in the NCFB
Through NCFB we have met fellow believers and have been able to share and participate in each othersrsquo
spiritual growth The more we give ourselves to the Lord the more we are exploring bigger blessings from
God As a family as a church our desire is to grow spiritually so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord
