Thoroughly enjoyed watching the new documentary film. Well done, Molungkimong Baptist Arogo and the film production team for this momentous achievement! Such a docu.film was long overdue in the midst of some confusion or misinterpretation that cropped up in the history of Christianity in Naga Hills. Narratives may change but the moving picture in the form of documentary film will remain for posterity. From this moment on, may the life of the Church of Christ at Molungkimong and beyond spring forth for His glory in a renewed way. God bless!
