SBC celebrates 37th Foundation & Cultural Day

Servanthood Bible College (SBC) celebrated its 37th College Foundation Day-cum-Cultural Day at the college campus on Wednesday, under the theme “Echoes of Tradition”.
Gracing the occasion as guest of honour, Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu MLA expressed gratitude to Almighty God for His continued blessings upon the institution and lauded SBC’s journey in imparting theological education over the past 37 years.
Azo acknowledged the contributions of the pioneers and donors who laid the college’s foundation and helped nurture its growth. He appreciated the various cultural performances by students, stating that the celebration was a true reflection of the college’s rich diversity.
Sharing a personal reflection, Azo said he initially questioned his worthiness to address theological students on the occasion but took it as a divine reminder to walk humbly and strive to be a better leader. He described SBC’s journey as “inspiring and motivating”, and noted that the very name ‘Servanthood’ carried spiritual depth. “To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must become a servant to all,” he said, citing the example of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet.
Encouraging the students, Azo said they were among the “luckiest” to pursue theology and urged them to remain faithful to their calling. He cautioned that many had strayed despite theological training and reminded them not to take their mission lightly. “We may desire to be kings or pursue fortune, but what good is it to gain the world and lose our soul?” he stated.
The programme was chaired by Lelievi and Toshikaba, with Words of Grace delivered by Assistant Professor Obed Rai. A brief history of the institution was presented by SBC principal, Moa Jamir, and blessings of dismissal offered by Associate Professor Dr Hetoni.
The event also featured a host of cultural performances including “Roots in Rhythm” (Tenyidie Students), “Konyak Folklore” (Konyak Students), “Strings in Harmony” (Gideon Kithan), “Folklore in Motion” (students of neighbouring states), “Ethnic Rhythms”, “Aye kuzu le” (Sumi Students), “Bamboo Dance” (Myanmar Students), “Folksong” (ENSF Students), and “Tenem Manu & Ali Sayak” by Ao Students.
