As I sat down to pen this article, I was overwhelmed with the memories of Mumbai where my journey as a mother and wife began. The struggles mentally and physically were real and raw. Nevertheless, His grace superabounds.
Mrs. Rinzat Lungran
faithfully served as a member of the Pastoral Team during their family’s stay in Mumbai, while her husband, Mr. Theiva, also served as the Treasurer of NCF Mumbai. Together with their daughter, Iklan, they were an integral part of the fellowship. The family is now posted in Dimapur.

“There is no age limit for learning” is what I witnessed and encountered during my stay in Mumbai, specially growing together as a church and family in NCFM. So closely knitted as a family in Christ, my heart always brimmed with joy, love and concern over church matters but always believing that God is in control and His name will be glorified no matter what!
One of God’s abounding love came in when I was given an opportunity to work as a part of Elders team. I honestly never wanted to be a part of the team thinking I am not worthy and not able but my Abba Father had different plans for me. He handpicked me so that I can learn more of His amazing ways associating together with the most 5 noble men of God (Pastor Hamyan, Pastor James, brother Lipok, brother Daivd and brother Reisang) The love and unconditional support I received was massive and heart-warming. Blessings ran overflow! Amidst all the challenges together as a team I thoroughly enjoyed all the blessings we imparted together for the Lord. The platform I received was really extraordinary, a real gem of opportunity, an incredible learning phase of life where money cannot buy. And I give all praise and glory to God.
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.
Deuteronomy 28:01

Just obeying God, accepting to be working for Him has opened so many breakthroughs in my life, teaching me that only self is not at all enough to grow, especially spiritually. Giving time for the Lord in any form is never a loss. Deuteronomy 28 (please read) talks about blessing for obedience. This verse has always assured me that our God is a promise keeper. It has opened my heart to have compassion and pray for people in need. Eyes to see God’s beautiful creation and ears to hear His calling. It is indeed a delight to hear His voice and absolutely thrilled to be receiving revelation from the Lord.
The only purpose of life here on earth is to fulfil God’s mission by being an ambassador of God, thus glorifying His name. Despite life’s extreme challenges, focussing on God is the only way, the truth and the life. There should be no other choice than to have incredible faith (as small as a mustard seed). Apart from faith we fall into sin unknowingly. He is ever ready to bless us with the ‘gift of righteousness’ to whoever seeks for Him. Let us therefore continue to support, encourage and pray for each other unconditionally without fail.
Lastly but not the least, dearly miss family fellowship of NCFM and its yummilicious widespread potluck. Not forgetting the endless talks like we have no home to go back. Alas! It remains sweet memories but you all won me and my family’s heart then and now. Heartfelt gratitude to all the church leaders and all members of NCFM for your immense love. It was a pleasure working with you all. I have learned a lot from you all. In fact, I am still in awe of your abilities and dedication for the Lord. Most importantly I have made amazing trustworthy friends and families for life whom I will cherish forever. I love to call you all a “jackpot blessing”. We miss you all.May the good Lord always bless you, protect you, keep you all safe in his loving arms. Amen!
