My mam wish if I were a pastor or an evangelist,but God made me as a Tent maker like an Apostle Paul!
Khankhup Sektak
When I was able to dicern good or bad;my mam told me that she had been offered my life for the Lord and His kingdom glory. She [my MAM] was sending me at sunday school and any activities ins and outs wherever spiritual growth was applicable. She added," I am praying to God to be one of the pillar in the God kingdom ministries". Even after thrice attempted to be a church worker, all my efforts have been came into stand still! Only God's knows how much I need Him and have the fire to serve for Him!
Even so my mam wish if I were a pastor or an evangelist,but I am happy to say that God made me as a Tent maker like an Apostle Paul!

Donation
Dearest in Christ,
I am Mrs Jamille Fahad from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Dalham Fahad who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for eleven years before he died in the year 2008.We were married for Eighteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$5.8million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavorthat the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made usto understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Jamille Fahad.
Note: Please any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.

"Top 5 Mistakes English Learners Make"
What are the most common mistakes that English learners make? Which mistakes do most English learners need to correct, in order to learn English much faster?
Here are the top 5 English Learning Mistakes:
1. Focusing On Grammar
This is the biggest, most common, and worst mistake. Research shows that grammar study, in fact, actually hurts English speaking ability. Why? Because English grammar is simply too complex to memorize and use logically.... and real conversation is much too fast.
You don't have enough time to think, remember hundreds or thousands of grammar rules, choose the correct one, then use it.
Your logical left-brain cannot do it. You must learn grammar intuitively and unconsciously, like a child. You do this by hearing a lot of correct English grammar- and your brain gradually and automatically learns to use English grammar correctly.
2. Forcing Speech
Both English students and teachers try to force speech before the learner is ready. The result is that most students speak English very slowly- with no confidence and no fluency. Forcing speech is a huge mistake. Don't force speech. Focus on listening and be patient. Speak only when you are ready to speak- when it happens easily and naturally. Until then, never force it.
3. Learning Only Formal Textbook English
Unfortunately, most English students learn only the formal English found in textbooks and schools. The problem is- native speakers don't use that kind of English in most situations.
When speaking to friends, family, or co-workers, native speakers use casual English that is full of idioms, phrasal verbs, and slang. To communicate with native speakers, you must not rely only on textbooks.. you must learn casual English.
4. Trying To Be Perfect
Students and teachers often focus on mistakes. They worry about mistakes. They correct mistakes. They feel nervous about mistakes. They try to speak perfectly. No one, however, is perfect. Native speakers make mistakes all the time. You will too. Instead of focusing on the negative- focus on communication.
Your goal is not to speak "perfectly", your goal is to communicate ideas, information, and feelings in a clear and understandable way. Focus on communication,focus on the positive. You will automatically improve your mistakes in time 
5. Relying On English Schools
Most English learners rely totally on schools. They think the teacher and the school are responsible for their success. This is never true. You, the English learner, are always responsible. A good teacher can help, but ultimately you must be responsible for your own learning.
You must find lessons and material that are effective. You must listen and read every day. You must manage your emotions and remain motivated and energetic. You must be positive and optimistic. No teacher can make you learn. Only you can do it!
While these mistakes are very common, the good news is that you can correct them. When you stop making these mistakes, you change the way you learn English. You learn faster. Your speaking improves. You enjoy learning English.
Good luck... you can do it!

THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENTS OF MISSION The Evangelical Baptist Convention Church,
The Evangelical Baptist Convention Church,
which was started in 1948 at Sialbu village; without any funds and with
great apprehensions, was blessed of the Lord in all respects.
Gradually, it is grown numerically, spiritually and financially. This
chapter traces the growth of missionary works, financial progress,
literature departments, and numerical growth. 1 (A). The Growth of missionary works: It
is amazing and great things which God has done to the Paites and there
missionary works. They were received the gospel from Watkin Roberts on
1910, but the first missionary work they launched in 1966 to Karbi
Tribes in Vangai Division. In the previous chapters, we had been noted
the origin and various method of the EBCC Mission Fields, Manipur,
Karbi-Anglong and Nepal.
God really did use the missionaries and the prayers of the churches,
hundreds of lost souls have been converted them into Christianity. In
Andhra Pradesh the missionary works had been launched with 10 permanent
staff from ECC. This ministry was undertaken through Rev. C.V.John, New
life ministries and the Cudappah areas the work was established. After
having 1500/- members and twelve churches, the churches also become
mature and handed over to the new life ministries to undertake Andhra
mission field. 2 The Evangelical Convention Church
also launched the missionary works at Arunachal Pradesh Songkhojam was
appointed and later the works had been ceased, while Songkhojam retired
from the missionary work. Later M.R. Rongrang the friend of
Ginneihthang requested to the Ebc church to pay half of the pastors
salary and through two Baptist pastors the Missionary works continued
at Arunachal Pradesh. In Burma at near Chindwin River,
Makuri Naga backward classes were found by Mr. Thawnzakham and he
realized the needs of gospel to them and also the needs of there
physically and spiritually. The mission offerings various materials had
been collected and through Mr. Kamzathang, Methodist church, Songtal;
the work was launched and he planted the seeds of Gospel his own life
to Makuri Naga at Burma. The EBCC launched the missionary works with
other missions namely, IEM, FMPB, OMF and with various organization.
(Khamvum P.P 11-13) (B). Financial Progress: One
Measure of church growth is financial growth. The EBC church started
with no money. Khamkam wrote the EBC was started because of poverty
(Khamkam pp 43). In the year 1950, the church have 30 amounts for
Church developments The financial records between the years 1955 and
1972 are available only in the form of balances at the end of the year.
In between 1989 and 1999 in terms of the budget for each year. The
financial positions of the church are found in available records
follows:-4 EBC Financial Position Year Amount in Rupees 1950 30 Balance 1955 1300 " 1960 4594 " 1962 7344 " 1968 30949 " 1970 27081 " 1972 28044 " Year Amount in Rupees 1989 40,00,000 Budgets 1990 48,00,000 " 1991 56,00,000 " 1992 63,00,000 " 1993 75,00,000 " 1994 80,00,000 " 1995 90,00,000 " 1996 1,00,00,000 " 1997 1,00,00,000 " 1998 1,20,00,000 " 1999 1,50,00,000 " Taivela,
the first treasure of the church, says that the Tithes of those workers
and few elders made up the beginning of the church funds; From zero to
15 million rupees in 52 years is surely an amazing growth, it shows
average each member of the EBC church contributed 450 Rs in a year
according to total church members census 43,788 in 1998 figures. To be
Glory to God of the universe, who blesses His church out of this
abundant mercy that enabled this people to give from out of their
poverty. 5 (C) Literature development. The
Literature of the Paites tribe was developed primarily by the church.
The first premier was said to have been appeared in1930 prepared
jointly by D, E Johns and Vialphung; but no one have ever seen it
(Jamkhothang, 1974, 26). In 1947, Nengzachin prepared another Paite
premier which was printed by Thangkhai in memory of his daughter,
Suakhnun, whose picture appeared on the cover this was used in the
schools run by the Church. In 1941, the NEIGM published the Paite
hymnal book which was prepared by Nengzachin and Chinlang. 6 In 1971,
the Paite holy Bible was published. The church has three hymnal books,
one with tonic solfa is meant for worship, and the other meant for
public singing together which is locally known as Lengkhawm, third is
called suangmantamte (jewels), and it consists of choruses and use in
the children ministry. There were 227 books in Paite vernacular.
(Jayaselynn 1996, 174). The Paites stands second only to Manipuri in
producing literary works among the 29 communities in the state of
Manipur. (Liankhawhau, 1986, 237) 6 (D) Numerical Growth: The
gospel was the main subject of conversations everywhere in the house,
on the way and the fields. Within half a century, the whole Paite tribe
was turned from animism into Christianity. The Lord of the harvest
cause the EBCC grew numerically and spiritually. From available sources
the EBC numerical growth can be following:- Number of villages 123 Number of houses 8506 Number of churches 109 Number of pastors 79 Number of ordained elders 492 Number of graduates 108 Number of Missionaries 79
Number of Illiterates 5591 Number of Schools 32 Number of Teachers 139 Number of Students 3,144 Number of Workers 317 The
above statistical charts are according to the census of 1999 only; from
1999-2006 growths will be the amazing for the church growth for EBCC
Mission. The Evangelical Baptist Convention Church is growing with the knowledge of God with missionary works, literal educationally, growing physically as well as spiritual. 8

CONCLUSION This
study has sought to investigate the background and origin of the Paites
and the arrival of Christianity among to them and how its growth,
moreover the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church and its methodology of mission towards the Paites tribe and their mission fields was the main issued (1966-1999). This Research shows that the Paites were probably involved in
building of the great wall in China. The unable to bear the added burden they ran to the place called "Khul" (cave) in Tibet, China, in order to get safety from Wangchen, a Chinese king, from Tibet they went to Chimnuai geltui in Burma, while a large majority of them remain in Burma and are known as Chiin. A small portion of them left Burma and settled in Mizoram, Manipur and Assam, and other north eastern part of Indian states are called PAITE. The
Paites were lived primarily in the remote areas or in villages. Their
villages were more or less sovereign kingdoms in which the village
chief ruled and administered the affairs help weak and needy, punished
the Criminals and defended the village from outside invasions. The
Paites were held in bondage to fear of the evil spirits who were
believed to be the cause of all evil and sufferings. This was very much
part and parcel of their daily life, and was a must for all scarifies
and festivals. They were fierce head hunters. A period of radical religious and social change came to the Paites by a British missionary; Watkin Roberts in 7th
may 1910 was also known as missionary day for southern part of Manipur.
Then continuation of the missionary work was done by and supported by
Watkin Roberts through Savawma, Thangchingpuiia, and Vanzika, they were
Mizoram natives. Lungpau and Thangkai were known as a first Christian
in churachandpur. Hundreds of native Christian was formed for
evangelists; soon the gospel was converted to all the southern tribes
within in a century. In the 26th December of 1914, the Thado Kookie Pioneer Mission (TKPM) was formed and with wide views, TKPM was renamed into North- east India
General Missions (NEIGM) in 1919. The mission was faced the problems
from native non-Christians, within the missions and from other
missions. Luaichinthang stated "while the work is progressed the enemy
is not rest". The
1948 NEIGM annual conference, felt in an ethic lines by divided into
presbytery and the Paite speaking groups were felt on Simsakbial
presbytery (South Eastern area presbytery) and the 1948 was a birth of
the present Evangelical Baptist Convention Church. The
evangelization of the Paites was in full swing and within a period of
50 years (1910-1960), most of the Paites tribe was evangelized. The
word of God changed the Paite religion mysticism into Christianity and
the first missionary work they launched on 22nd may 1966 to the Karbi tribes at Vangai area. The
increasing responded of the missionary work has been launched to
Manipuri/Meiteis, Nepali's, Telegu, and Arunachal Pradesh and to Makuri
Naga, near Chindwin River at Burma;
moreover, the missionaries were sending to other missionary
organizations, IEM, FMPB and OMF. God's really did bless the missionary
work with progress and supported by the believers. In
1950 financial statements show the opening balance of EBCC was 30
amounts and it was amazed, how the church budget came 15 millions in
1999 years of the Lord! The leaders were used there wisdom for Gods
Kingdom Expansion ministries, the believers were supporting the leaders
and established various kinds of missionary methods with the helps of
almighty God. The
EBC church has crores of rupees budgets in a year with a very efficient
administrative system today. The highest authority rests on the annual
convention. In between the Annual Convention Board of trustees hold the
highest authority which is assisted by several sub committees. The
Executive Secretary is overall power, and Directors, District
Superintendents and all districts working committees are also the
executive officers in their fields. There are various kinds of
sub-committees divisionally and locally the works of God have been
joining with all the departments. The Evangelical Baptist Convention Church was standing by her own responsibility since 1986. The mission fields, Bible College,
rehabilitation centers, six districts and three mission fields more
than 400/- paid workers and various departments and ministries are
supporting by her on finances. The most important things the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church should do are, "Praise and Worship
God" the first plan and aim is always "Missionary Works".
The EBC church has always welcome those who wish to get affiliations or
accreditation from the same faiths all over the world any churches or
ministries fellowship and co-operation with the works of Mission. The
Churches which were planted in the mission fields to help and
encouraged them in order to self supporting church and missionary
church within the ten years is the goal of the mission field. The other
goals for within ten years is, " To established two mission fields,
recruiting at least 120 missionaries and planting at least 50 churches,
three medical missionaries, three social workers, three Bible
translators and at least ten new Educational Institution are the
mission goal of Evangelical Baptist Convention among (Paite tribes) and

which was started in 1948 at Sialbu village; without any funds and with
great apprehensions, was blessed of the Lord in all respects.
Gradually, it is grown numerically, spiritually and financially. This
chapter traces the growth of missionary works, financial progress,
literature departments, and numerical growth. 1 (A). The Growth of missionary works: It
is amazing and great things which God has done to the Paites and there
missionary works. They were received the gospel from Watkin Roberts on
1910, but the first missionary work they launched in 1966 to Karbi
Tribes in Vangai Division. In the previous chapters, we had been noted
the origin and various method of the EBCC Mission Fields, Manipur,
Karbi-Anglong and Nepal.
God really did use the missionaries and the prayers of the churches,
hundreds of lost souls have been converted them into Christianity. In
Andhra Pradesh the missionary works had been launched with 10 permanent
staff from ECC. This ministry was undertaken through Rev. C.V.John, New
life ministries and the Cudappah areas the work was established. After
having 1500/- members and twelve churches, the churches also become
mature and handed over to the new life ministries to undertake Andhra
mission field. 2 The Evangelical Convention Church
also launched the missionary works at Arunachal Pradesh Songkhojam was
appointed and later the works had been ceased, while Songkhojam retired
from the missionary work. Later M.R. Rongrang the friend of
Ginneihthang requested to the Ebc church to pay half of the pastors
salary and through two Baptist pastors the Missionary works continued
at Arunachal Pradesh. In Burma at near Chindwin River,
Makuri Naga backward classes were found by Mr. Thawnzakham and he
realized the needs of gospel to them and also the needs of there
physically and spiritually. The mission offerings various materials had
been collected and through Mr. Kamzathang, Methodist church, Songtal;
the work was launched and he planted the seeds of Gospel his own life
to Makuri Naga at Burma. The EBCC launched the missionary works with
other missions namely, IEM, FMPB, OMF and with various organization.
(Khamvum P.P 11-13) (B). Financial Progress: One
Measure of church growth is financial growth. The EBC church started
with no money. Khamkam wrote the EBC was started because of poverty
(Khamkam pp 43). In the year 1950, the church have 30 amounts for
Church developments The financial records between the years 1955 and
1972 are available only in the form of balances at the end of the year.
In between 1989 and 1999 in terms of the budget for each year. The
financial positions of the church are found in available records
follows:-4 EBC Financial Position Year Amount in Rupees 1950 30 Balance 1955 1300 " 1960 4594 " 1962 7344 " 1968 30949 " 1970 27081 " 1972 28044 " Year Amount in Rupees 1989 40,00,000 Budgets 1990 48,00,000 " 1991 56,00,000 " 1992 63,00,000 " 1993 75,00,000 " 1994 80,00,000 " 1995 90,00,000 " 1996 1,00,00,000 " 1997 1,00,00,000 " 1998 1,20,00,000 " 1999 1,50,00,000 " Taivela,
the first treasure of the church, says that the Tithes of those workers
and few elders made up the beginning of the church funds; From zero to
15 million rupees in 52 years is surely an amazing growth, it shows
average each member of the EBC church contributed 450 Rs in a year
according to total church members census 43,788 in 1998 figures. To be
Glory to God of the universe, who blesses His church out of this
abundant mercy that enabled this people to give from out of their
poverty. 5 (C) Literature development. The
Literature of the Paites tribe was developed primarily by the church.
The first premier was said to have been appeared in1930 prepared
jointly by D, E Johns and Vialphung; but no one have ever seen it
(Jamkhothang, 1974, 26). In 1947, Nengzachin prepared another Paite
premier which was printed by Thangkhai in memory of his daughter,
Suakhnun, whose picture appeared on the cover this was used in the
schools run by the Church. In 1941, the NEIGM published the Paite
hymnal book which was prepared by Nengzachin and Chinlang. 6 In 1971,
the Paite holy Bible was published. The church has three hymnal books,
one with tonic solfa is meant for worship, and the other meant for
public singing together which is locally known as Lengkhawm, third is
called suangmantamte (jewels), and it consists of choruses and use in
the children ministry. There were 227 books in Paite vernacular.
(Jayaselynn 1996, 174). The Paites stands second only to Manipuri in
producing literary works among the 29 communities in the state of
Manipur. (Liankhawhau, 1986, 237) 6 (D) Numerical Growth: The
gospel was the main subject of conversations everywhere in the house,
on the way and the fields. Within half a century, the whole Paite tribe
was turned from animism into Christianity. The Lord of the harvest
cause the EBCC grew numerically and spiritually. From available sources
the EBC numerical growth can be following:- Number of villages 123 Number of houses 8506 Number of churches 109 Number of pastors 79 Number of ordained elders 492 Number of graduates 108 Number of Missionaries 79
Number of Illiterates 5591 Number of Schools 32 Number of Teachers 139 Number of Students 3,144 Number of Workers 317 The
above statistical charts are according to the census of 1999 only; from
1999-2006 growths will be the amazing for the church growth for EBCC
Mission. The Evangelical Baptist Convention Church is growing with the knowledge of God with missionary works, literal educationally, growing physically as well as spiritual. 8

CONCLUSION This
study has sought to investigate the background and origin of the Paites
and the arrival of Christianity among to them and how its growth,
moreover the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church and its methodology of mission towards the Paites tribe and their mission fields was the main issued (1966-1999). This Research shows that the Paites were probably involved in
building of the great wall in China. The unable to bear the added burden they ran to the place called "Khul" (cave) in Tibet, China, in order to get safety from Wangchen, a Chinese king, from Tibet they went to Chimnuai geltui in Burma, while a large majority of them remain in Burma and are known as Chiin. A small portion of them left Burma and settled in Mizoram, Manipur and Assam, and other north eastern part of Indian states are called PAITE. The
Paites were lived primarily in the remote areas or in villages. Their
villages were more or less sovereign kingdoms in which the village
chief ruled and administered the affairs help weak and needy, punished
the Criminals and defended the village from outside invasions. The
Paites were held in bondage to fear of the evil spirits who were
believed to be the cause of all evil and sufferings. This was very much
part and parcel of their daily life, and was a must for all scarifies
and festivals. They were fierce head hunters. A period of radical religious and social change came to the Paites by a British missionary; Watkin Roberts in 7th
may 1910 was also known as missionary day for southern part of Manipur.

NEPAL MISSION FIELD (1980- ): by khankhup
Nepal is a land locked country in central Asia. Asia located in the central Himalayas; Tibet (Chinese autonomous region) is to the north and India
to the east and south. The population are 24.3 million (average annual
growth intimately 1995-2000, 2.5%) and 28% literacy rate (1995). The
type of Nepal government is democracy and 89% Hinduism, 5% Buddhism, 3% Islam and only numbers of Christian workers and believers were in Nepal
today. Economically, 93% people were labor force in agricultural and
the remaining labor force in industry (year book 2003 pp 312). In the
year 1980, the missionary works in Nepal had been started by the Evangelical Convention Church. 8 (A) THE ORIGIN AND THE DEVELOPMENTS OF NEPAL MISSION FILED: The origin and the first missionary works towards Nepali speaking groups were not in Nepal,
but Nepali nations who settled in Manipur. The ECC have burdens to
share the gospel to Nepali nations and share to them the good news of
Jesus and some people accepted Jesus for there personal Savior and
Lord. As it was written, "Nepal nationality which we used for missionary towards Nepal's in Manipur, they greatly have burdens to share
the gospel towards there parents, there friends, and there relatives". So we now have eight workers in Nepal, the churches we have planted, nearly 100 believers (Luaichinthang, mission silver jubilee; souvenir pp. 11). In
1992 mission silver jubilee souvenir, Mr. Ramlien Nepal missionary
workers report shows and we can boldly state that the missionary works
at Nepal field was started on 1980 under Evangelical Convention Church.
In 1991 Mr.Ramlien and the Nepali evangelist Tikaram Thapa, R.B Sharma,
Padam Thapa, Rajbir Raj, Homnath Acharya, were started their missionary
works in Nepal. 9 (B) THE METHODOLOGY OF NEPAL MISSION FIELD The Nepal nations and
their governing systems are known as democracy. But they did not have a freedom like we have right to religious freedom in India.
The communist parties were secretly threatened while peoples become a
Christian. They were not only persecuted but sending away form there
family while they knew they had been converted into Christianity.
Generally preaching the gospel, tracks distribution, Mission schools, and house visitation, counseling are the General methods of missionary in all the places. The missionary works in Nepal has been progress different kinds of denominations were done there missionary works at Nepal.
The Tunibote village were a faithful believers for ECC which was 10
members baptized in the mid-night by Rev.B.Luaichinthang. (L.Ramlian,
Silver Jubilee souvenir 1992 pp, 28).There are many missionaries using
attraction through money to support and build the church building for
them and various methods was using, its will not jeopardizes the
Mission at all. 10 (C). CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES OF NEPAL MISSION FILED: Today, the mission field which is in Nepal
needs more workers, good financial assistance, and other organizations
that will be able to undertake the missionary works for the expansion
of the God's kingdom ministry. In fact as it was said, Nepal Hindus
were consider more deeper than Hinduism in India.(Khamvum, pp. 28) .The
persecutions and opposition were not rest while the works of God's
kingdom ministry is progressed. The new believers were away from their
family, and there society and greatly beaten up by their relatives. The
missionaries in Nepal
are not only preaching and sharing the word of God's but shepherd
ministry too. The formal missionary to Nepal Sadu Sunder sing said "Nepal prison is like paradise, because of Christ with me",
even the persecutions didn't rest even today. The missionaries were
questioning and objected by non believers! Send for young men and women
missionary for Nepal, who knows because of your Ministries, all the
Nepal's
peoples God may give into your hand there all might converted them into
Christianity. God send to preach the gospel not only to India, not only to Nepal, but to all over the world. (Matt 28:19 -20).13

of the God's kingdom ministry. In fact as it was said, Nepal Hindus
were consider more deeper than Hinduism in India.(Khamvum, pp. 28) .The
persecutions and opposition were not rest while the works of God's
kingdom ministry is progressed. The new believers were away from their
family, and there society and greatly beaten up by their relatives. The
missionaries in Nepal
are not only preaching and sharing the word of God's but shepherd
ministry too. The formal missionary to Nepal Sadu Sunder sing said "Nepal prison is like paradise, because of Christ with me",
even the persecutions didn't rest even today. The missionaries were
questioning and objected by non believers! Send for young men and women
missionary for Nepal, who knows because of your Ministries, all the
Nepal's
peoples God may give into your hand there all might converted them into
Christianity. God send to preach the gospel not only to India, not only to Nepal, but to all over the world. (Matt 28:19 -20).13

MANIPUR MISSION FIELD (1967- ) by khankhup
The
missionary works among the Meitei tribes in Manipur is having both
advantage and dis- advantaged; according to the mission field workers
reports. They were much loyal in thinking, politically, socially and
governmentally. It is not an easy task to evangelize among Meitei
peoples said an IEM missionary. The British and Foreign Bible Society
in India
was established on 1804, under this society the serampore missionaries
were printed New Testament in Manipuri language possibly with Bengali
codes in the year 1827. The William Pettigrew translated NT in Manipuri
alphabet was printed on 1931. The southern Manipur Christianity was
1910, the Paite holy Bible NT, was printed on 1951, the Rev.Nengzachin
translated both NT and OT was printed in 1971 and the Lamkatung Local
committees established Meitei Evangelical Committee in 1st
December 1967 as the missionary works beginning even today they called
Manipur Mission field. The study of Manipur mission field briefly we
will classifies into three divisions: 4 (A) The Origin and Developments of Manipur Mission Fields. The churches have been established the outreach ministry before the Lamkatung Evangelical Convention Church was established the "Meitei Evangelical Committee" on 1st
December night 1967. (Khamvum.pp-15). The Lamkatung ECC local churches
established MEC have three missionaries, "Mr. Lalsang as missionary at
Moirang Khunou 85/-, Mr. Seido at Kumbi Terakhonga 60/, Miss Thiengi at
Bishenpur 55/Rs. Per month in the year 1967! The MEC first meeting in
their resolution no, 7; they made three petitions to the 19th
MCC Annual conference at pearsonmun, Lamka in the year 1968. The MCC
annual convention 1968 at pearsonmun, 12-14 January, Resolution no (a)
& (b) are followings; i) The Meitei Evangelical committee established was appreciate and recognized like we recognized other department of the ECC. ii) The
MEC ministry was continuously encouraged and let them collect money for
their works and take Auditors and audit for their financial affairs. The
conference response we didn't found three missionaries to support and
to help in 600Rs MEC missionary works. The MEC had been changed into
Meitei gammial board at the 23rd ECC annual conference at
Hanship in the year 1972. The Evangelization among the Meitei was known
as progress and the Meitei Evangelical Convention Church (MECC) was
established at Dorcas hall on 15th September 1989
with the representatives of churches native of Thamnapokpii,
Naranseina, Nambol, Sugnu, Phayeng, Awang potsangbam, Thoubal Khunou,
and Taretkhul formed standing committee of the MECC. 5 (B) The Methodology of Manipur Mission Fields. The
goal setting of Ebcc is to have three medical missionary, three Bible
translator, Three social worker and established many more schools in
the mission fields within 10 years and to established other mission
fields and to have more workers for the mission fields(Luaichinthang
,pp 190). According to the 1992 figurative, most of the high castes
were living in plains and low caste was living in the remote areas. The
religious percentage are following Hindu 60%, Muslim 7%, Evil Worship
2% and 31% was only Christians. (Luaichinthang, pp 44). (1) General Methods
:-
There was no fundamental process of mission, but according to the
peoples, their religion, conditions, social issues , and according to
there cultural affairs the method was made and practiced. In some
places, tracks distribution and house visitation is effective. In some
hidden places open air preaching and counseling is useful. Most of the
early period in the mission fields' gospel film shows effective, but
not all the places. The gospels campaigns, Crusades, Child evangelisms,
School ministries are the general methods in the mission field. The
mission includes evangelism, education and social action. (Piangzathang,
mission silver jubilee souvenir 1992 pp. 49). The Christianity of
Manipuri was not impressed and changed them not inwardly, but it seems
like cosmetic powder which applied in the body.
6 (C) The Challenges of Manipur Mission Field Today: There
are 2,388,634 total populations living in Manipur today. (2007 census).
The main occupation of 66 percent of the population of Manipur is
agriculture. Nearly 92% of the total area is hilly and covered with
forest. (Year book 2003 pp 653). There are two sub groups of these
communities which claims belong to the
Kshatriya and Brahmin. The influenced of Hindu religion beliefs and
practiced affects even today nearly 2/3 of the population (H.M Bareh
274). Through
the works of Christian missionaries, thousands of Meitei were converted
in to Christianity and various revivals have been happened in this
community. As they have new Meiteilon (Manipuri), which falls within
the Tibetan- Burman family. (H.M Bareh 275).They considered Hinduism is
not their religion while still they were Hindus practiced and belief.
They considered,"Sana Mahi" is their forefather's religion, but Sana
Mahi brought nothing changed inwardly. They found true religion is
Christian, the joy and happiness which was found in the Bible is not
found in the other religions. Although
they considered themselves to become Christians is to follow the hilly
tribes religion; but some how they really esteems the Christians.
(Khamvum, P.P.46). The Christian religion is good, but their lifestyle
condemned or made become nothing the unbelievers added. The Christians
were preaching and bringing good news to others, but peoples are
observing the Christians. Until and unless the Christians have Christ
like attitudes to others, there is no way the Meitei peoples will be
converted them into Christianity.

THE METHODOLOGY OF Evangelical Baptist Convention Church MISSION FIELDS
The
first priority of Evangelical Baptist Convention Church is, "Praise and Worship God", and there most priority plan and goal is "Missionary works". In the year 1910 onwards and several decades; most of all the
North-eastern part of India was, "Foreign mission fields" likely American Baptist Mission and Welsh Presbyterian Mission in the year 18th and the beginning parts of 19th
century. The seeds of the gospel has been spread and growth rapidly and
now Animistic has been transformed into Christianity and its brought
religious changed, social changed and lot of transformed in the
society. Today, the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church plan and aims
is, "Spreading the gospel to the outreach and make
disciples for Jesus, not only in India, but all over the world as Jesus
commanded to do so" (Mtt 28:19-20). To send missionaries, witness
for a church, to mingle and working with native Christians, to give and
support them, to encourage them, moreover, to joint in hands with the
missionaries organization is the EBCC plans and purpose. The
Evangelical Baptist Convention Church have an active three mission
fields, besides of the mission fields; there are numbers of missions
field and the conditions and methods will be briefly noted. The
following are mission fields with their origin, methods and the
progress works of the mission fields as followed:- 1 (1) KARBI- ANGLONG MISSION FIELD (1966): The
first ever mission fields of Evangelical Baptist Convention is namely
Karbi-anglong mission field established by a groups of peoples, some
added. In this particular research the study Karbi- anglong mission
field can be classified in three divisions. (A) The Origin and Developments of Karbi-Anglong Mission Fields (1966):- There was a great concerning those who didn't hear the gospel surrounding tribes in the year 1966. In the 22nd of May 1966,
the Evangelical Convention Church Vangai area preaches the gospel to
their neighboring Karbi tribes at bethkhal, not Karbi-anglong. The
Bethkhal entire peoples were converted into Christianity except only
over ten members were unconverted. The leaders Rev.khamkhogin,
K.Vungzathang, Rev.Nengkhogin were the first Messengers to Karbi-tribe.
(i) Historical Debates: -
There was no proper historical records nor evidences about the origin
and development of Karbi-anglong mission field. In fact, some Paites
were migrated to Jangnuam village, mikir hills (Karbi anglong) and
established the churches of Ebcc in the year 1969. It was also believed
that, more Paites peoples were migrated Karbi- anglong while there was
war between Mizoram and Indian Government. The first Convention School
was established at Khawlian, and Mr. Luaizadong was a first teacher. A
number of churches and mission private schools also were established.
So far, the church have inactive responded about Karbi-anglong
missionary works. (B) The Methodology of Karbi-Mission Field: In
the beginning parts of the missionary works among the Karbi tribes, it
was established child care centre at Jawllian village and Pastor Sing
Taro was a teacher for the Children. The Jawllian church established
Private mission school under a leadership of Mr. Khaizasong, and Mr.
Hawlkhai and Pu.Henkhojang, was the first teacher. The work of school
has been progress and later the Ebcc accepted as mission school. The
Paite speaking groups established a village called Basamili, near
Melik, Karbi village by Late Ngulkhojam, S. Vialzapau, Daikhopau and
Mr. Thuangzapau and there S.Thangchinlun was missionary. The missionary
adopted one Karbi chorus and went on Sunday at Melik Karbi village and
there was an open-air singing with hallow guitar. While the peoples
gathered to hear songs; Pu. Ngulkhojam preached to the peoples in Hindi
languages. God's really did bless there ministry after 2/3 weeks; Mr.
Chinthawng Melik and Sarthe terang family was converted into Christian,
later Mr. Chinthawng was appointed as an evangelist. Possibly in the
year 1975 was considered as the beginning of the missionary works among
Karbi tribes, but others Garo, Nepali and neighboring tribes. The
mission field is now field Superintendents overtake all the
administration, the schools and the churches and the native believers
are the fruits of Karbi-anglong Mission field. (C) The Challenges of Karbi Anglong Mission Fields Today:- There
are nearly thousand of missionaries working today in the Karbi-Anglong
Mission fields from various denominations. There are lakhs of peoples;
different kind of tribes living without Christ, only a few numbers of
native peoples were Christian. In 1853, the good news had been brought
to them, but why today they are only a few Christians? This is a time
all the Karbi- people should become Christian and sending Missionaries
to other territories! The Karbi anglong is sleep, the workers are also
sleep; who will awake Karbi-anglong and converted them into
Christianity. 2 According
to mission silver jubilee, 1967to 1992 souvenir, Rev.N.Nengzakhai,
Karbi area missions reports briefly noted, "the churches has been
planted In the following Basbari, Garo village who was Christian but
converted other than convention mission; Bethany, Nepali Village also
only some the mission converted, Phololangso, Langrik, Langmely,
Hampurlangso, Paklongkam, Karbi Kehai ranghang Areng, Karbi village
which was planted the churches before 1992. The work has been progress
and knew that fruitful. The 2007 mission's manual shows that the EBCC
goal towards mission field is to help the mission fields' churches in
order to become self supporting church and missionary churches. God's
Loves Karbi Peoples; whose missions can convert Karbi peoples into
Christianity and so that all Karbi peoples might worship and praise our
God and bow down before Him and tell to the world that God is Light!

THE METHODOLOGY OF MISSIONS AMONG PAITE TRIBE
As we stated previously, the Christianity in southern part of Manipur was yesterday. This was amazing thing and notably events, "how the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church can stand without the western financial Aids".
Most of the native Christians were Jhuming cultivation, only few were
employees. How they administered and sent missionaries to other
territories. In this particular research will answer the foundation and
their methodology. Although, the western were ready to assist us but
instead our motive is "how we can help the world." 1) THE LOCAL CHURCHES MISSIONARY METHODS: The
local churches are the most important function in the organization of
the church. In facts without them; the church can't reformed. The one
who wish to fellowship with us under the wings of EBCC and only those
who have Membership in the local Churches was called Evangelical Baptist Convention Church. In order to become membership of the local churches, there are certain borders and requirement
according to the church creeds. There are four important to become membership according to candidate inconveniences. (A) Primary membership. (B) Junior communicant Membership. (C) Full communicant Membership.
(D) Associate Membership. The
local churches have the certain register books the details information
about members who are in and out with the decrees of the particular
denominations. There are five main important functions in the local
churches 1
(A) Tualsung Baptist Saptuam Upa Committee (TBSUC) The
Upa committee is "trustee" in the local Church. Minimum 5 members for
Chairman, secretary, finance secretary and treasurer, and members not
more than 15 members and all the members will be the office bearer in
the Local Church.
Their responsibility is spiritually and physically to lead and guide,
advice, administration forming Ministerial Committee, Sunday school,
Audit, and look after BMC, TBDFC, TBYFC, and TBCC and so on. The Upa
committees have the right to praise and condemned the Pastors if any
problems occur the Upa committee will consider the matters. Any church
affairs whether great or small without concerning the Upa committee,
head of the Local Church
was unacceptable. The local church will form local mission school
committee and other committees if necessary additional too. All the
projects from mission fields, headquarters, divisions, local churches
or any budgets should be work out through the Upa Committee and they
will take responsible or directed to the particular departments. The
one who had been ordained will be chairman in the Upa Committee, and
Pastors should be chairperson in the ministerial Committee. The Upa
committee and Pastor will be working hand in hand for the spiritual
growths of believers and encouraging them and correcting them, even
their physical growths as well. (1) The Methodology Of Upa Committee: - The main concerned of the entire Mission in the churches which Jesus commanded to us is, "Preaching the gospel to all creatures" (Mk 16:15), Making Disciples
(Mtt. 28:19), and baptizes them (Mtt 28:19-20). The Upa Committee has
only 15-20% percentage from Tithes for local funds; it was an
affordable to manage or sponsored local Gospel camp twice in a year
also impossible. Even
so, the Local Churches used from their own portion and conducted gospel
campaigns attempt twice in a year moreover local leadership trainings
and seminars are also conducted. The ebcc have hundreds of Crores
budget for a year and it was divided division by divisions, and portion
was divided department by departments and the Upa Committee look after
the budgets and encourages them and conduct with them joint Committees
in order to effort the projects. In fact, it was not an easy task to
joint in hand for God's Kingdom Ministries. The Local Church Upa
committees were made separately worship and joint worship according to
the departments' inconvenience, especially other than public worship.
The Local church encourages the members to pay the portion of God
(tithes) and offering to pay regularly. 2 (B) Tualsung Baptist Mission Committee (TBMC): The
mission committee is a centre theme in the Church. The Administration
process of forming office bearer the procedures same as others
committees or departments. The main purpose of this department is, "to encourage and give new idea which the peoples can participant for missionary works".
The mission headquarters have various budgets or projects for
Missionary work. Moreover, the mission and missionary fields are
depending upon all under the mission projects and budgets. There was no
financial assistance from elsewhere, if you pay the Missionary will be
able to continue their works; if not the missionary works will face
inconvenience. The followings are the methods which were done by the
local mission committee in order to fulfill the tasks of Mission. 1. The Local Missionary Methods: -
The local mission committees have neither income nor financial
assistance from other departments. The budget and the projects are
heavy oath which was lay upon the shoulders while all the other
departments have the same budget in there departments. Although the
committee took as a challenge and considered all these works are apart
of Missionary works which we can participant. There was a different
between the methods of missionary work in the hills and plains. But
some methods are applicable in both places. (i) Missionary Antangpham: - There are two types of Antangpham so far. The first one is, "Dorcas Antangpham" and the second is, "Missionary Antangpham".
While the woman cooks the food, they keep apart handful of rice for,
"missionary works as their Cheerful heart. The mission department will
collect once in a week. (ii) Missionary box: -
The mission departments were prepare a certain box and keeping to
entire houses of the villages. The amounts or offering according to the
will of the houses owner or things which are offers will be for
missionary works. The mission department in charge persons will collect
once in a week and bring into the church and amounts or offers will be
under Local Mission Department. (iii) Mission Thakuan: -
The department will select appropriate day with permission from the
house owner who would host before one week. This missionary work is not
requirement but the one who have a burden for missionary works came
together one day in particular fields, all the income was undertake by
the mission departments. (iv) Domestic and Plants: -
The southern part of Manipur was greatly interest feeding the domestic
animals and plantings likely, Banana, mango, apples, and oranges as the
land was familiar. The committees they made house to houses visitation,
there the house owner made a vow to give for God Ministries, "a pig,
hen, or one orange tree, mango tree, and banana. The mission department
will records and look after the animals or plants for missionary works.
(v) Missionary prayers: - Laubach. Frank. C, stated; how much the Missionary needs prayer in his book, "Prayer the mightiest force in the world", "Every missionary needs ten thousand prayer backers".
Today how much you pray for the missionaries and for the lost souls?
The Local Mission department understands that everyone cannot involve
in the all activities, but they made a special day in a week prayer;
read the names of Missionaries and the place where they work and their
needs. God really did answer the prayers by seeing the progress reports
of mission field. Some extra ordinary men's and women's were fasting
and the cup of rice which they brought was used for missionary work. 3 (C) Tualsung Baptist Dorcas Fellowship Committee (TBDFC): The Genesis account highlighted the women's were problem makers some might think it was right even today! In the EBCC chapter," Women's are the main important pillar in the church they were peace makers not the problem makers".
The Dorcas fellowship committees must have at least 5 members for
President, vice President, Secretary, Assistant secretary, Finance
secretary and members not exceed more than 15- members. The Local Church committee would appoint one adviser for them while a Pastor not residing in a particular village. 1. The Methods of Dorcas Fellowship Committee: - The Dorcas pawl mission motto is always, "Charity works and giving" (Acts 9:36).
The orphans' beggar and those who are needy to help and look after is
their responsibility. They usually undertake project partnership of Evangelical Baptist Convention Church
projects and schemes. They have a certain project like pulpits,
constructions, Church buildings, and various projects from mission
field and within the Local church itself. They concern for the growth

The Dorcas Antangpham and Singthohlawm were established by Rev. V.T.
Kappu, an NEIGM Evangelist. The same procedures of those methods were
adopted by dorcas department. We hope longer may be useful. Usually
Singthohlawm is familiar to the hills other then plains. While the
women's came from the fields they brought some firewood for cooking and
according to their desires they kept at the small space the women's
department prepare to keep and the firewood was sale to those who needs economically and the amount was undertake by women department. (iv) Genthei Panpihna: - The Dorcas charity works are called, "Genthei Panpihna".

sickness or due to an accident, if the farmers unable to continued his
works; they took responsible and take care the fields and all the
productions are given to the house ownership. The words cannot define
the charity works of Dorcas Departments in the church and societies.
They were truly the daughters of mother Teresa. The women's stretch out
their helping hands to help the world. 4 (D) Tualsung Baptist Youth Fellowship Committee (TBYFC) The

who are the executive officers in the churches. At this stage, it was
impossible to mention all the missionary methods of headquarters. As
our experiences and how Ebcc becomes the missionary church gives you
light by studying the following methods and administration affairs. Any
cost, any matters, "Christ is a head of the Church". (A) Board of trustee (BOT):- The
Board of Trustees was the Church administrators, all the Church affairs
and concerning the physical and spiritual affairs. Moreover, to take
care the church properties. The BOT members are all ex- officio members
including all Dwc chairman. All the difficulties tasks which were
setting up by the Divisions and others, the BOT will consider and if
it's too difficult or may have no Solution to pass the resolution, the
EBCC annual general conference will over take the matters. Above all,
the Asian Baptist federation (ABF) and Baptist world alliance (BWA). 7 (B) Executive Secretary: -
The chief functionary and overall controller the Ebcc church is
Executive Secretary or General Secretary. The terms and policies same
as other. The progress works should reports to BOT and General
Conference, and he will be Secretary in Board of trustee. 8 (C) Director of Missions: - Generally, the duties of Director of Missions' is, promotion
& motivation, Missions fields & staff control, partnership with
mission agencies, church planting and growth, leadership developments,
Bible societies and others are his main duties. All the directors will
do plan, programs, policies, implementation at their own departments.

All the Pastoral ministry of evangelism, Christian education and music,

The Director of Institutions responsibilities is towards all the Ebcc
institutions, Elim care, EBH, printing press EA, educational matters
and trainings, development and resources, relief and planning's are the
processed of their duties. Staffs leave, town programs and disciplinary
actions to his concerned staffs. He has a right to stop their pay and
even to warn and stop the workers for his/ her post if it caught
inconvenience. But excluding secretariat staffs. (F) Dorcas worker: - The role of Dorcas in the Convention Church
is an exemplary and the good moods for the workers and the churches.
Thousands of good deeds they have done in the churches, mission fields
and neighboring churches. The leaders like Damkhoman, Ngaihvung,
Dimzangai and Liankhoman and so many others women's was brought great
revival for the women's and new life in the Ebcc church. The Dorcas
worker is overall controller all divisional and local women's

youth seminars, leadership trainings, youth conference and so many
trainings divisionally and locally with the guidance of youth worker.
The youths were highly developed in the music, Praise&Worship,
choir, Bible knowledge and all types of skills in life. Above all,
"they make plan and goal setting with the approval of BOT but the
sub-committee has no final authority in any affairs of the church. (H) Child worker: -
The Child Ministry is the most important part of every church. The
proverbs told to the parents to train-up the child while they are young
according to what their wishes them to became in the futures (Prov
22:6). A child worker will made programs and projects with prior
consent from the Board of trustees including plan and goal settings. A
child worker will consider for all Childs departmental growths,
expansion, and for encouraging and fruitful for child ministries. There
are various departments untold and effective for the church ministries
like Bible College, Book houses, rehabilitation centers, music's are
also apart of our church ministries. God really did bless the peoples
purchased by His own blood. All the members of the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church were satisfactorily untold happiness for the progress of administration and methodology. The only church departments didn't support
the missionaries but personally those who are involved in the private
or government jobs, unable to represent there body for God's Kingdom
ministries was support more missionaries in the convention church even
today. 13

Most of the native Christians were Jhuming cultivation, only few were
employees. How they administered and sent missionaries to other
territories. In this particular research will answer the foundation and
their methodology. Although, the western were ready to assist us but
instead our motive is "how we can help the world." 1) THE LOCAL CHURCHES MISSIONARY METHODS: The
local churches are the most important function in the organization of
the church. In facts without them; the church can't reformed. The one
who wish to fellowship with us under the wings of EBCC and only those
who have Membership in the local Churches was called Evangelical Baptist Convention Church. In order to become membership of the local churches, there are certain borders and requirement
according to the church creeds. There are four important to become membership according to candidate inconveniences. (A) Primary membership. (B) Junior communicant Membership. (C) Full communicant Membership.
(D) Associate Membership. The
local churches have the certain register books the details information
about members who are in and out with the decrees of the particular
denominations. There are five main important functions in the local
churches 1
(A) Tualsung Baptist Saptuam Upa Committee (TBSUC) The
Upa committee is "trustee" in the local Church. Minimum 5 members for
Chairman, secretary, finance secretary and treasurer, and members not
more than 15 members and all the members will be the office bearer in
the Local Church.
Their responsibility is spiritually and physically to lead and guide,
advice, administration forming Ministerial Committee, Sunday school,
Audit, and look after BMC, TBDFC, TBYFC, and TBCC and so on. The Upa
committees have the right to praise and condemned the Pastors if any
problems occur the Upa committee will consider the matters. Any church
affairs whether great or small without concerning the Upa committee,
head of the Local Church
was unacceptable. The local church will form local mission school
committee and other committees if necessary additional too. All the
projects from mission fields, headquarters, divisions, local churches
or any budgets should be work out through the Upa Committee and they
will take responsible or directed to the particular departments. The
one who had been ordained will be chairman in the Upa Committee, and
Pastors should be chairperson in the ministerial Committee. The Upa
committee and Pastor will be working hand in hand for the spiritual
growths of believers and encouraging them and correcting them, even
their physical growths as well. (1) The Methodology Of Upa Committee: - The main concerned of the entire Mission in the churches which Jesus commanded to us is, "Preaching the gospel to all creatures" (Mk 16:15), Making Disciples
(Mtt. 28:19), and baptizes them (Mtt 28:19-20). The Upa Committee has
only 15-20% percentage from Tithes for local funds; it was an
affordable to manage or sponsored local Gospel camp twice in a year
also impossible. Even
so, the Local Churches used from their own portion and conducted gospel
campaigns attempt twice in a year moreover local leadership trainings
and seminars are also conducted. The ebcc have hundreds of Crores
budget for a year and it was divided division by divisions, and portion
was divided department by departments and the Upa Committee look after
the budgets and encourages them and conduct with them joint Committees
in order to effort the projects. In fact, it was not an easy task to
joint in hand for God's Kingdom Ministries. The Local Church Upa
committees were made separately worship and joint worship according to
the departments' inconvenience, especially other than public worship.
The Local church encourages the members to pay the portion of God
(tithes) and offering to pay regularly. 2 (B) Tualsung Baptist Mission Committee (TBMC): The
mission committee is a centre theme in the Church. The Administration
process of forming office bearer the procedures same as others
committees or departments. The main purpose of this department is, "to encourage and give new idea which the peoples can participant for missionary works".
The mission headquarters have various budgets or projects for
Missionary work. Moreover, the mission and missionary fields are
depending upon all under the mission projects and budgets. There was no
financial assistance from elsewhere, if you pay the Missionary will be
able to continue their works; if not the missionary works will face
inconvenience. The followings are the methods which were done by the
local mission committee in order to fulfill the tasks of Mission. 1. The Local Missionary Methods: -
The local mission committees have neither income nor financial
assistance from other departments. The budget and the projects are
heavy oath which was lay upon the shoulders while all the other
departments have the same budget in there departments. Although the
committee took as a challenge and considered all these works are apart
of Missionary works which we can participant. There was a different
between the methods of missionary work in the hills and plains. But
some methods are applicable in both places. (i) Missionary Antangpham: - There are two types of Antangpham so far. The first one is, "Dorcas Antangpham" and the second is, "Missionary Antangpham".
While the woman cooks the food, they keep apart handful of rice for,
"missionary works as their Cheerful heart. The mission department will
collect once in a week. (ii) Missionary box: -
The mission departments were prepare a certain box and keeping to
entire houses of the villages. The amounts or offering according to the
will of the houses owner or things which are offers will be for
missionary works. The mission department in charge persons will collect
once in a week and bring into the church and amounts or offers will be
under Local Mission Department. (iii) Mission Thakuan: -
The department will select appropriate day with permission from the
house owner who would host before one week. This missionary work is not
requirement but the one who have a burden for missionary works came
together one day in particular fields, all the income was undertake by
the mission departments. (iv) Domestic and Plants: -
The southern part of Manipur was greatly interest feeding the domestic
animals and plantings likely, Banana, mango, apples, and oranges as the
land was familiar. The committees they made house to houses visitation,
there the house owner made a vow to give for God Ministries, "a pig,
hen, or one orange tree, mango tree, and banana. The mission department
will records and look after the animals or plants for missionary works.
(v) Missionary prayers: - Laubach. Frank. C, stated; how much the Missionary needs prayer in his book, "Prayer the mightiest force in the world", "Every missionary needs ten thousand prayer backers".
Today how much you pray for the missionaries and for the lost souls?
The Local Mission department understands that everyone cannot involve
in the all activities, but they made a special day in a week prayer;
read the names of Missionaries and the place where they work and their
needs. God really did answer the prayers by seeing the progress reports
of mission field. Some extra ordinary men's and women's were fasting
and the cup of rice which they brought was used for missionary work. 3 (C) Tualsung Baptist Dorcas Fellowship Committee (TBDFC): The Genesis account highlighted the women's were problem makers some might think it was right even today! In the EBCC chapter," Women's are the main important pillar in the church they were peace makers not the problem makers".
The Dorcas fellowship committees must have at least 5 members for
President, vice President, Secretary, Assistant secretary, Finance
secretary and members not exceed more than 15- members. The Local Church committee would appoint one adviser for them while a Pastor not residing in a particular village. 1. The Methods of Dorcas Fellowship Committee: - The Dorcas pawl mission motto is always, "Charity works and giving" (Acts 9:36).
The orphans' beggar and those who are needy to help and look after is
their responsibility. They usually undertake project partnership of Evangelical Baptist Convention Church
projects and schemes. They have a certain project like pulpits,

particular day for women's Dorcas fellowship in the church. (ii) Dorcas Antangpham: -

Singthohlawm is familiar to the hills other then plains. While the
women's came from the fields they brought some firewood for cooking and
according to their desires they kept at the small space the women's
department prepare to keep and the firewood was sale to those who needs economically and the amount was undertake by women department. (iv) Genthei Panpihna: - The Dorcas charity works are called, "Genthei Panpihna".

expansion, and for encouraging and fruitful for child ministries. There
are various departments untold and effective for the church ministries
like Bible College, Book houses, rehabilitation centers, music's are
also apart of our church ministries. God really did bless the peoples
purchased by His own blood. All the members of the Evangelical Baptist Convention Church were satisfactorily untold happiness for the progress of administration and methodology. The only church departments didn't support
the missionaries but personally those who are involved in the private
or government jobs, unable to represent there body for God's Kingdom
ministries was support more missionaries in the convention church even
