Nagaland: BAN begins 2026 with first monthly fellowship

The Business Association of Naga (BAN) marked a spiritually significant beginning to the new year by holding its first monthly fellowship of 2026, setting a tone of faith, integrity and collective responsibility for the business community.
The fellowship was organised with the purpose of placing God at the centre of business life and seeking divine wisdom as members step into a year filled with both opportunities and challenges. The programme opened with a session of praise and worship led by BAN executive member Alobo Naga, creating an atmosphere of reflection and unity.
The fellowship was led by pastor, Warehouse Church, Jack Pucho, who delivered n message to the BAN family. Emphasising the importance of wisdom and understanding in both life and business, he shared from Proverbs 24:3, “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.” He encouraged members to build their enterprises on foundations of faith, wisdom and integrity.
One of the most impactful moments of the fellowship was the sharing of personal and collective prayer points, during which members openly expressed their concerns, business challenges and hopes for the future. United in prayer, BAN members sought divine guidance and strength for the year ahead.
BAN leaders reiterated the association’s commitment to building a value-based business culture where faith and integrity go hand in hand with enterprise and development. They highlighted that businesses have a role beyond economic growth, serving also as agents of positive social transformation.
Through regular monthly fellowships, BAN aims to nurture spiritual strength among entrepreneurs, promote ethical business practices and create a strong, supportive network grounded in mutual trust and shared values.
The key outcome of the first BAN Monthly Business Fellowship was a collective commitment to run businesses as a mission. This aligns BAN with the global Business as Mission (BAM) movement, where business is intentionally used to glorify God, serve people and transform communities.
