In a remarkable initiative blending spirituality, environmental consciousness, and youth engagement, the Youth Department of the Nepali Baptist Church Kohima organized a trekking expedition and cleanliness drive at the scenic Puliebadze on April 12.
The event, held under the theme of reflection, education, and action, saw enthusiastic participation from the youth members who embarked on the trek not merely as a physical activity, but as a spiritual journey.
The primary objective of the expedition was to symbolically experience the immense struggle Jesus Christ endured as He carried the cross up to Golgotha. As participants ascended the challenging trails of Puliebadze, they reflected on the pain, sacrifice, and perseverance of Christ, gaining a deeper appreciation of His suffering and love.
In addition to spiritual focus, the expedition also aimed to promote environmental awareness. Along the trek, the youth carried out a cleanliness drive, collecting litter and spreading awareness about the importance of maintaining the natural beauty of the surroundings. The event completed with prayer and fellowship.
