Kangpokpi, October 23 2021:
A newly constructed building of Fundamental Biblical Baptist Church of K Gamnom under 50-Kangpokpi AC was inaugurated on Saturday.
Rev Sheikholen Chongloi, who attended the inaugural ceremony as minister, inaugurated the church building by cutting the ribbon in the presence of local MLA Nemcha Kipgen.
The MLA, who had contributed immensely towards the construction of the church building through her tithe, said that a village without church is incomplete as the church has huge role to play in shaping the society, starting from the village administration.
She continued that time has come for the church to exhibit its role in the society as people are starting to have no fear in defying the God's words for their personal interests and this is where the church needs to exercise its huge role to mend it.
She said that churches have to come forward to invigorate the spirit to eradicate illegal practice of poppy cultivation in the hill districts, especially under Kangpokpi AC, to save humanity, land and the people, particularly the youth, who are the future pillars of the nation.
The MLA while appreciating the collective and tireless effort of the church leaders and villagers in the construction of the church building, motivated them to collectively work tirelessly in stopping the crumbling situation of the society.
Presentations, appreciation and exhortation marked the occasion while the Church Youth Fellowship enthralled the crowd with their marvellous hymn.
