The short speech of Rev.H.Haolai is :
“Love of God is same for all nations of the world. God in His love for all, sent His Son Jesus Christ to the world that all who believe in Him may have eternal life in God. Jesus came, taught how one can enter the Kingdom of God. He died on the Cross and risen on the third day. He ascended on heaven and sits on the right side of the Father in Heaven. The Father God has given Him all authority on earth and in heaven. He is coming again to bring all who receive Him as Lord and Saviour and punish all who rejected Him. According to the Bible, there are only two ways and two place – Heaven and Hell. The only way to Heaven is Jesus Christ. All who received Jesus Christ will enjoy eternal life with God in Heaven and all who rejected Christ will go to hell for eternal punishment in the Lake of fire.Therefore, just before His ascension, Jesus commanded His disciples to “Go and preach to all nations” about the Love of God, the Salvation of God from eternal damnation. (Matthew 28:18-20).
This is the duty of all Christian to tell all nations of the world. Making the Bible available for all is our priority in BSI. Come, take membership as Life member, Patron Member, Chief Patron Member,etc. Contribute generously so that those who do not have the Bible may receive the Bible free of cost.” He also reminded the gathering how the Bible is given to all like free of cost, only charging the handling/ transportation cost. The actual cost of the Holy Bible is about Rs. 1,500/- to Rs. 5000/-. But due to the contribution/ donation of BSI members/ Churches the BSI is giving at around Rs.100/,only handling/packaging/transportation cost. He thanked all for participating towards the extension of the Kingdom of God.
Earlier, the Secretary Lalthanmawia Thianglai had given a report about the activities and progress of the branch for the year 2014-15 and future programme.He also informed the purpose of the programme that the BSI is committed to give the Bible to every linguistic community of India in their own dialect so that everybody can study the word of God in own dialect and understand the love of God and His salvation through Jesus Christ. He appealed to the gathering to take membership in the BSI and participate in the endeavour for the glory of God in Jesus Christ.The next programme will be held at Songpijang Christian Church, near Haflong.
