First Church in Thangkhal Village | Pu Khupkhochin

 

This is the first church among the Thangkhals, built in T. Khuangkhai village under the leadership of Pu Selzagin, in the year 1943. The church was inaugurated by Evangelist (Pu) Thawngluan, who worked as a missionary among the Thangkhals from 07 March 1939 to 1948. This church came to be known as the first among the Thangkhal Christians.

With the Chief of T. Khuangkhai Pu KHUPKHOCHIN (age 83)

in his residence on 08 January, 2022. 

Pu Khupkhochin is a retired Thangkhal Christian pastor who was baptized by Pastor Thawngluan, 

in 1967. 
His father, Pu Selzagin and mother, Pi Donzavung also accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

“One day, my father, who was very old, felt sick so much so that he wanted to offer sacrifice to our forefathers’s unknown god. But we advised him we are believers (tapidaw) of Christ, such an offering is against our faith. We should not perform offerings to unknown gods like unbelievers (lawki) does. Then he obeyed us.”

 “My father, while on his sickbed, told me he happened to sit on an airplane and saw the heaven with his own eyes. After seeing this vision, my father ventured out into villages preaching the gospel.... Nobody told him to do so. Until his death, he stopped drinking wine (Zu).”

Elder Thangneirum

(died 1939), 

the first convert of the missionaries at Senvon

The year 1910 was a turning point in the history of Manipur, especially for Churachandpur. Aizawl-based Welsh missionary Watkin R. Roberts, along with Mr. Lungpau and Mr. Thangkai, who were studying in Aizawl, came to Senvawn village in Churachandpur district on 7 May 1910.

Watkin R. Roberts was invited by the curious village chief of Senvon, Shri Kamkholun Singson, to explain what the Gospel is. Roberts began his preaching in the village. Soon, the Good News spread like wildfire and reached the entire hills of Churachandpur. This led to a massive transformation from age-old traditional religions to Christianity among the tribal communities. Thereafter, 7 May has been observed as Missionary Day in Churachandpur.

Lamka, a town of various close-knit tribes in southern Manipur, is known for its academic achievements, history, culture, and songs. In simple English, Lamka means “a meeting point of several roads.” It is connected to the state capital via Tiddim Road, which is about 65 km away.

This monumental stone was erected in Lamka on 7 May 2010.

MY HEART is heavy with sorrow as I bid farewell to my best friend, my companion since childhood, with whom I have shared both joy and pain. His absence leaves an emptiness that words cannot express. He has left behind his beloved wife, a son, and a daughter, who will forever carry his memory. I am devastated by the thought that he is no longer here, yet I find comfort in knowing that we shall meet again on that beautiful shore. Rest in peace, my dear friend. Until we meet again, my heart will carry you with me always.

Our childhood memories will always haunt me... Those are now the good old days of our best times, forever etched in my heart.

Pain to say, "Good Bye..."

“For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38-39 (NRSV)

Zogam Today editor Nengkhanlun gave a brief introduction of how this daily newspaper started and also thanked his team members for the constant supports since its inception. 

Under the leadership of editor Nengkhanlun, Zogam Today team visited three orphanage homes – Vondei Sauliim (sponsored by Evangelical Lutheran Women Association, MELC) at Zomi Colony, Tunnu Limbel (sponsored by Zou Presbyterian Women Fellowship, ZPCS) at Zomi Colony, and My Home (sponsored by Dr Thangkhanmang, Thangkhal Baptist Church) at Thingkangphai. 

In a humble gesture of thanksgiving to Almighty God, Zogam Today presented gifts – one syntex, biscuits (one box), chickens, eggs, and sweets to Vondei Sauliim, which has 19 children and Tunnu Limbel which has 22 children. Zogam Today also presented biscuits (one box), chickens, eggs and sweets to My Home, which has 8 children. 

While visiting orphanage homes, Zogam Today editor Nengkhanlun exhorted the children to study hard, to be honest and to be faithful. “God loves the children. Children should not feel that they don’t have parents. The church and its members are their parents. We are also like your parents,” editor Nengkhanlun gave a piece of advised, “You all are our future, you must obey your elders and wardens. God will lead your way”. In all the homes, elder Chinkhenpau blessed the children with a word of prayer.

“We also want to help some other orphanage homes, but we can’t due to our limited resources. We will try our best for the upliftment of the poor and under privileges children in our district,” said Nengkhanlun. He thanked God, saying: “We could run our paper till date with the blessing of God only”. 

After vising three orphanage homes, the team had their sumptuous lunch at Cozy Restaurant in Lamka town. 

Zogam Today started as a monthly magazine in Zou dialect, with a motto: “Our Today, Our Future and History”, on 14th May 2011. The magazine turned into an independent daily newspaper on 30th October 2012. Since then, Zogam Today is promoting fair reporting, literature, media ethics, human rights awareness and environmental concerns.
