KTBL, SBC Fathers’ School held in Kiphire

A Fathers School under the theme “A Loving Father Makes a Loving Family” was held from August 15 to 19 at Kiphire Town Baptist Lithro (KTBL) with Rev. Imti Sangtam, pastor SBCK as the resource person.

The school was organized by KTBL and sponsored by the Sangtam Baptist Church (SBC), Kohima and continued for four days from 6 p.m to 10 p.m. 

A press release from KTBL secretary Horiba Sangtam stated that the resource person, who was also a Fathers School Graduate of 2013 batch, mentored the students.  He emphasized on the topics “Fathers Influence”, “Fathers Manhood”, “Fathers Mission” and “Fathers Spirituality and Family”.

He said that Fathers represent God in the Family and therefore, they should know their responsibilities. The Bible says that the father is the head of the family, but today, we see many headless fathers in the family, he quipped. If the fathers know how to shoulder the responsibilities of the family, the society, churches etc will grow.

Students were divided into eight groups and all these groups were assigned various activities. The students shared their own experiences from childhood to fatherhood. All the students were also asked to write a letter to a father, wife and children. On the final night the students along with their wives attended the school where the fathers presented a rose each to their wives and prayed with them. A feet washing ceremony was also held. At the end of the session 38 Students were awarded graduation certificates which is the first batch from KTBL Fathers School 2018.
