The Secretary Lalthanmawia Thianglai gave a short report about the activities and progress of the branch and future programme. He stated that the BSI is committed to give the Bible to every linguistic community of India in their own mother tongue 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 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 the BSI is giving at around Rs.100/. He extended thanks to all BSI members and contributors and appealed all to enrol more members to participate in this endeavour for the extension of the Kingdom of God in Christ.

The speaker Rev. Somnath Upadhya sermonized the main theme “The Power of the Word of God.” (Hebrew 4:12), who stressed on the need of transforming life, renewing life in Christ to have a successful and fruitful Christian life.

BSI Message : God love all people of all nations of the world. In His love, God sent His Son Jesus to the world that all who believe in Him may have eternal life. Jesus came, taught people about the Kingdom of God and how one can enter the Kingdom of God. According to God’s plan, Jesus died on the Cross and rouse again from the dead on the third day. He ascended on heaven and sits on the right side of the Father God in Heaven. The Father has given Him all authority on earth and in heaven. He is coming again to bring all who receive Him as Lord and Saviour but to judge 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, Jesus commanded His disciples to “Go and preach to all nations”.(Matt.28:18-20).This is the duty of all Christian to tell all nations of the world about the Salvation of God in Christ from eternal damnation. Every one cannot go out to preach but can pray and donate in cash or in kind. All can take part in the BSI mission as Life member, Patron Member, Chief Patron Member, etc. Contribute generously so that those who do not have,may receive the Bible free of cost.

After worship service, a light refreshment was served and interaction among members.

The next programme will be held at Khongsai Christian Church on 20th September 2015, with Elder L.K.Chonga as Chirmans and Elder Doulalkhup be the Speaker. PYF Choir of Canaan, Muolhoi are requested to attend the programme as appointed Choir
