The Naga National Prayer Day 2025 was jointly organized by the Dimasa Baptist Church and CNC under the theme “O God, Heal Us,” (Hosea 6:1-3) at CHQ Church, Hebron, on 19 October 2025.
Twenty-one churches and around 1,500 neighboring church members, including national workers, attended the prayer day program. Seven Churches from the surrounding villages delivered their message through song.
Pastor Zizora Thaosen, Executive Secretary of the Dimasa Baptist Church, expounded on the theme of the Naga National Prayer Day.
Ili Singyaola Zimik, Hon’ble Member of collective leadership, reflected on reconciliation and relationships among the Nagas, referencing the Scriptures: Colossians 2:21, Romans 5:10, and Ephesians 2:14. Reconciliation is based on restoring what is broken, praying together, and resolving differences. She indicated that our mission on earth is limitless; we are called to preach the Gospel of our Lord beyond our land and boundaries. She shared her agony over the past and present situation of the Naga National struggle—the hardships, divisions, and disunity that have surfaced within our society. With deep dismay, she questioned how, during the 28 years of peace negotiations, we have become so divided, fractured, and broken among ourselves. To restore unity, she emphasized the need for self-introspection and retrospection. In the process of reconciliation, forgiveness and acceptance are inevitable if we are to achieve lasting harmony. We must focus on the greater good rather than our personal interests, setting aside selfish motives. This transformation must begin within each one of us. We must renounce all evil deeds and humble ourselves before God, for the time to do so is now.
Ino.Tongmeth Wangnao, His Excellency, the Kedallo, GPRN emphasized that the Naga national struggle has been sustained thus far by the grace of God. He reminded everyone to be thankful to God for enabling the Nagas to become bona fide members of the UNPO and for the historic signing of the Framework Agreement. Reflecting on Proverbs 3:5, he affirmed that the Bible is the living Word of God, and whatever it predicts surely comes to pass. He compared the situation of the Nagas with that of Israel and Gaza. He stated that prayer and unity are the first and foremost priorities for the Naga people, through which God will deliver us from all hurdles.
Pastors from the neighboring churches, chaplains, CNC staff, and women leaders led the prayer points.
The organizing committee chairman presented the vote of thanks to the congregation. He expressed his gratitude to the organizing committee and all the members for their selfless contributions, as well as to all the participants for making the event a resounding success. He urged everyone to work toward organizing even greater programs in the near future.
