The Global Baptist from 134 countries converged at Brisbane, Australia under the theme LIVING THE GOOD NEWS.
The 23rd Baptist World Congress was held in Brisbane, Australia hosted by Australian Baptist Union a member of Asian Pacific Baptist Federation.
The Nagaland Baptist Church Council delegates was led by Rev. Achu Chang, president of the council.
The Nagaland Baptist delegates consist of around 30 members of all the quinquennial Congress, the 23rd Congress at Brisbane was special for the Naga delegates.
The representation and participation of the NBCC delegates was in the category of leading the plenary session where Dr. Kethoser Kevichüsa spoke on the topic LIVING THE GOOD NEWS IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The Bible study session on Thursday was let by Rev. Dr. Zelhou Keyho on the topic LIVING THE GOOD NEWS AS DISRUPTABLE DISCIPLES.
The high light of the Congress was when one of our NBCC members Mrs Sano Vamuzo was awarded the Quinquennial Human Rights Award for her contribution to the society.
Her contributions to the Nagas goes out globally and this recognition was a humbling moment for the Nagas. The singing and cultural show case to the global community was brought to the congress by Chele singers.
The Nagas have much to offer to the global Baptist community.
Our weaker brothers and sisters in faith need us. This Congress was a reminder that God has called the Nagas to his mission beyond our own circle. We must become global Christians taking the message of the Good News to places where they have not heard the story of God’s love. We must continue to humble ourselves to what God has for us to bring glory to him. The programs and events were well organized.
It was a great learning moment for all of us.
The delegates returned with a heart filled with gratitude and thanks to all those who were with us in prayers.
