Imphal, December 14 2014:
Acknowledging the sacrificial contribution of the mission-aries and their families towards Christianizing the Rongmei community of the State, over 10,000 people participated in a mass Bible reading programme as they observed the last day of the Rongmei Centenary Celebration as "Mission Sunday" .
The day was observed with great enthusiasm and gratefulness towards what the Lord has done for the Rongmeis for the past 100 years.
Special prayer was offered by Rev L Timothy Phaomei, chairman of the celebration for God's deliverance from ignorance, debt and poverty.
Over 10,000 people took part in 'Mass Bible Reading' from the book of Philippians 2, followed by mass singing of hallelujah chorus.
As the Rongmeis gathered for the final day of the celebration, they were challenged and encouraged to take a step of faith, to reach out and be a blessing at home and beyond.
