Lotha Baptist Churches Association (LBES) women department, held Lotha women officers prayer and fellowship programme on January 28 at the LBES Mission Centre, Vankhosung, where executive secretary LBES, Rev Nyanchumo Ezung prayed for blessings.
According to DIPR report, principal Mount Tiyi College Wokha, Dr. Apeni Lotha in her exhortation said that working women in different professions who worked at par with the rest of the society faced more challenges than others because she bears additional responsibility as a wife, a mother and a professional who has to balance between home and work and still excel in whatever she does in life.
She also observed that the task of motherhood was a lifelong process and her wise teachings and guidance would be the foundation of her legacy for her children and their children to emulate. She said that the profession and the authority in the official capacity was time bound which needed dedication and handwork no matter how challenging they may seem.
Project director DRDA Mokokchung, Lily Humtsoe advised that one should not harm anyone by misusing the power of the office but rather take it as a gift of opportunity from God to serve the government and the people with humility. Education, being the stepping stone of progress for an individual, a family and the nation as a whole, we must do our bit to contribute in educating the lesser fortunate ones in order to uplift them in the required areas, she added.
Women secretary LBES, Meribeni Ngullie in her welcome address stressed that the purpose of the fellowship was to thank God and celebrate His blessings in the lives of the women and also to encourage one another to foster unity amongst them to work towards achieving higher goals for the good of all.
Women leader WTBC, Mhalo Yanthan, who was the speaker of the programme, stated that God’s purpose of making them the light for others was to live exemplary lives. “You are a flame lit by God by His will, therefore, live in Him and He will lead you to lead the others”, she said.
During the programme, APRO Bhandari, Lily J. Kikon presented a special number. The programme was led by chairperson LBES Women Department, Mhonyani.
