Dr. Joshua Rochill, speaking at the dedicatory program cited \u201cthe Korean Cold war incident which led to annihilation of all property in both South and North Korea\u201d.

Rev Dr. Joshua pointed the vision of \u201cPhilippi Church\u201d that partnered Paul in fulfilling the Lord\u2019s command from the very first day Paul entrusted them. &nbsp;Rev Dr. Joshua, thus concluded with mentioning few of his friends who were prospering so well in their respective ministries which he believe are through the \u201cpower of prayers\u201d and urged the same newly dedicated \u201cUrban Church\u201d to make it in the list of churches that had proved against all odds, sustaining and prospering through prayers.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Sumi Baptist Churches Association had established an Urban Ministry with a vision to reach out the lost souls in the year 2011, with its main office at Dimapur. &nbsp; The ministry particularly aims at reaching the group of people were yet to hear about salvation\/sacrificial message of God\u2019s grace. &nbsp; The ministry based in Dimapur [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nagaland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105219\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
