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!
