A book designed for bible study in Lotha dialect was released on May 4 at Tchüphyangza Baptist Church, Wokha, by principal of Witter Theological College, Vankhosung, Dr. T. Nzanthung Ngullie.
The book titled “Ntho Motsü Yanphen- James Chiti: Longtsü Njüm Yentsa” authored by Khoben Y. Tungoe, and published at Heritage Publishing House, Dimapur.
The book was designed with the purpose of inspiring believers in Lotha dialect to delve into the word of God through deep bible study. It is the first of its kind in Lotha language and can be used in various fellowship contexts: personal bible study, family fellowship, small group bible study gatherings, and church gatherings for learning the Word of God.
The author believed that the disciple-making approach to ministry is often missing in many churches today. By developing this form of material, the book aims to enrich the church ministry, especially in Lotha-speaking churches – and promote discipleship as believers meet God through His word and learn to live and love like Jesus.
The book was also written with the intention of contributing to the growth of Christian literature in Lotha language. It lays the foundation for future works to make spiritual resources more accessible to the local community.
