Revival in Nagaland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[citation needed]

The Revival in Nagaland was a mass-conversion event.

Christian mission began in Nagaland, a small state in northeast India, bordering Myanmar, in the late 19th century. Revivals took place in 1956, 1966 and 1972.[citation needed] The result is that Nagaland is a predominantly Christian state. The largest denominations are Baptists, as a result of the work of American Baptist Missionaries.

In 1962 in a village in Kohima started "The Great Awakening" [citation needed] when the Holy Spirit came upon the believers of Christ and were moved by the power of the Holy Spirit [citation needed], as were many non-Christians, who then became Christians [citation needed].

The Church leaders and the Christians were inspired by the power of the Holy Spirit [citation needed] and it spread to many parts of the state [citation needed]. Later "The Nagaland Christian Revival Church" was formed and it helped in spreading the gospel "Revival" to all the parts of Nagaland and its neighbouring states.
