Alright, okay, okay, you're ready? Yes is. So we all can see my screen? Yeah, we can see you, hear you, yes, okay, yeah, we'll start now, okay, your time starts now, yeah, go ahead please. Okay, good morning, my research topic is on cross-cultural evangelism and examination of Naga Missionaries, Tragedies and Impact in Cambodia. My study focuses on examining the evangelistic methods, cultural adaptability and impacts of Naga Missionaries in Cambodia. I use this qualitative research where I was able to interview 11 Naga Missionaries in Cambodia. There are around 18 Naga Missionaries families and other six missionaries from other mission fields like one Naga Missionaries from Texas, USA and also another Naga Missionaries from mainland China, another from Andaman, Nicaragua and also Indo-Buddhambudur and Gujarat and also one American missionary working in Pune. The objective of my study is to bridge the knowledge gap of Naga Missionaries in Cambodia and derive actionable insights for future cross-cultural evangelism mission. So what is cross-cultural evangelism? Like cross-cultural evangelism involves sharing the Christian gospel across different cultural and religious boundaries, focusing on respectful and meaningful communication that honors the local culture and beliefs. The facet of cross-cultural evangelism are cultural sensitivity, adaptability, relational engagement, contextual, teleogy and long-term commitment. So a bit about the Naga people, they are indigenous tribes in Northeast India known for their rich cultural heritage and historical head-handed practices. Christianity was introduced in the 19th century by American and British missionaries. E.W. Clark was one of the primary missionaries in Cambodia, also in Nagaland. The conversion to Christianity marked a significant cultural transformation leading to peace among wearing tribes and a shift in social norms and values. The impact of on on Christianity-broad education, health care, social reform, drastically changing the Naga society for a big uniting the diverse traditional group under one communal faith. You know the Cambodian people, the Cambodian locals are called Cambodian people, predominantly Theravada Buddhism with Buddhism deeply intertwined in their cultural identity, social norms and the way of life, you know. And also Cambodian cultural and religious landscape has been shared by a history of colonialism by the French conflicts and the Khmer Rouge regime under the leadership of Pol Pot. From 1975 to 1979 he was a dictator, he tried to irrigate all the religious practices and it seems that 1.5 million to 2 million Khmer people were either killed or famine, you know. And also the people who tried to revolt against their regime and it's known as the Cambodian genocide. And after the genocide it seems around only 200 Christians were in Cambodia. So despite these challenges Buddhism remained a cornerstone of Cambodian identity with recent decades seen a gradual openness to other religions including Christianity, influencing areas like education, social work and community development. So the Naga missionary strategies include, you know, they try to learn Khmer language and to understand the Cambodian culture to effectively communicate and connect with the local people. They also try to build relationship and trust. As mentioned by Dr. Rubati, one of the pioneering missionaries, you know, he faced challenges in building trust because of the past history of genocide but he was able to do in due time in season and able to minister effectively. And also contextualizing the gospel, adopting Christian teachings to feed the cultural context of Cambodia, ensuring that the message is revelant and respectful of local beliefs and practice using prayer books and stories that resonate with the Cambodian experience and spiritual worldwide as mentioned by one of the Naga missionaries Mika. And utilization of technology and media, you know, like one of the missionaries, Angus says he used Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram and he do online Bible study to reach out to the younger population. And also holistic ministry approach like the integration of spiritual teachings with practical support such as healthcare education and economic development initiatives. So challenges they faced are cultural and religious resistance. Mr. Khan, one of the new convert, you know, he faced issues and challenges and persecution from his own family and society when he converted to Christianity. And also overcoming language barrier to effectively communicate the Christian missions in the Cambodian language that faced those issues. And also encounters skepticism and resistance from local community unfamiliar or apprehensive about Christian practice. While medical missions and educational initiatives were beneficial, they sometimes met skepticism or resistance from local authorities or community wary of, you know, foreign and religious influences. So the impacts of Naga missionaries in Cambodia are spiritual transformation, numerous conversion to Christianity. Missionary Mika said around 200 people attend his church in Cambodia in Bonampan, the capital of Cambodia and also influence deeply the spiritual landscape and individual lives in Cambodian communities, lunch initiative in education and healthcare to improve the quality of life and fostering social cohesion, the, a gateway home run by missionary, you know, provide shelter, education and family like care to over 100 orphans significantly altering their life in a better way. And also cultural integration, you know, like cultural integration of Christian celebration with Cambodian custom enhancing intercultural respect and understanding. They are also Christian led community development programs in Ratanaguri province, one of the poorest and one of the remote places in Cambodia, you know, one of the missionary really says they tried to improve local infrastructure, including schools, roads, enhancing daily life in community cohesion. And also by training local leaders and establishing self-sufficient church, churches ensuring a continuation of the mission work as mentioned by Dr. Wati, the pioneering missionaries to Cambodia and the growth of Christian community in Cambodia. Comparative analysis, I tried to study the missionary works of Naga missionaries and other missionaries, so evangelism method are Naga missionaries through personal interaction and community services, gradually introduced Christianity, which contrasts with direct Christian approach seen in the mission field of Hindu-Buddha border. And also in Cambodia, Naga missionaries learn the Khamai language, the local language and custom for deep integration similar to missionaries in Gojarat missionary language, who adopted the local Hindu context. And also the social work of Naga missionaries in education and healthcare in Cambodia had a lasting impact on community well-being similar to the comprehensive community services provided by missionaries in Pune, the American missionaries in Pune, India. So lesson for aspiring missionaries, you know, you need to have a deeper cultural immersion understanding and respecting the host community culture is very crucial and important. And I believe evangelistic strategies, you know, like Taylor evangelistic methods to feed the local context, combining preaching with community service and empowerment of local leaders to ensure the sustainability of mission efforts, correct programs to foster long-term community development in healthcare education sectors, leverage technology to enhance evangelistic and educational efforts, engage in interfaith dialogue and collaboration is very important, regular assessment and feedbacks and also holistic ministry approach last but not the least crisis management and resilience training as mentioned by Dr. Watty, he used to train new upcoming missionaries in this area. So that's my presentation. Thank you all. Thank you, Zellie Tully. Thank you so much for that, for sharing that. So I just have a couple of questions. One is why did you choose this topic? How did you choose this topic? Okay, like I got an opportunity to be a short term missionaries in Cambodia from 2018 to 2022. And at the time I was working in one of the ministry in Cambodia and I just shared my heart and my desire to my senior pastor there and he was so encouraged. And he is the one connecting me to the other Naga missionaries in Cambodia and there I work in the mission field with one of the Cambodian missionaries, Ango and Asui. They were my mentors. They are the one guiding me. And they used to do dorm ministry. So like in Phnom Penh city, the capital city of Cambodia. So people from other province, less privileged students who can't afford lodging food and all, they used to provide free lodging state to the, you know. I get it. So what are you saying is that you had a personal experience there and so this was close to your heart and that's how you did it. So one other question is now you mentioned that to immerse in one of your recommendations, you said that one has to immerse oneself in the local culture. So in what way can you just be a little more specific? Like what aspect of culture did the Naga missionaries adapt or make it relevant? What aspect of the culture? Yeah, maybe we can just share one or two. Yeah. Like the Naga missionaries out there, you know, like, just like, you know, we Naga are Christians, but we are from tribal people. We have our own, you know, different cultural festivals. And so like Cambodia do have their cultural festival, like Water Festival. They used to worship the Water God, but they used to involve in the, you know, festivals and all, but in a way they bring Christian, the integrated Christian principles by just fellowshiping, you know, and what to say, fellowshiping and just having a good time with the other local people. And in this way, as they integrate, as they have community engagement, so they are able to win the trust of the local Cambodian people. And that's one of the few examples. Yeah. Right, right. Thank you, Zedidoli. Thank you so much. Okay, thank you. Okay, so next we have Success Enoch. Success, are you in the class? Okay, I don't see success here. Okay, okay. If success joins us later, he can present. Otherwise, we'll go ahead with Subhasis. Yes, Subhasis. Yeah. Sorry, Pastor, I have some issue in my camera. Okay. Oh, I see. Okay, okay. Yeah, you can check out your presentation if you have one, then... Yeah, can you see my screen? Yeah, it's just coming up. Yeah, it's there. Okay. You're ready? Yes, Pastor. Okay, please go ahead. Good morning, everyone. And thank you, Pastor, for this opportunity to present my survey. As I mentioned here, the untold story of Christians' contribution to poor and destitute. And think for a minute if there is no Christians in the country or in the world, how the city or how the country or how the world looks like. And when we think about these missionaries, they have given their best in the actually education field. And this is my school, actually, where I belong. And this is a government school. And there was a time, actually, where when everyone thinks, okay, that we need a school, but there is no land. And there was a challenge for everyone, actually, to send their children to far places. But our church has decided to give their land. And because of that, actually, now I think more than 5,000 students are studying in these campuses. So I'm sharing one story, actually, Bhola Anand. Actually, he is from Gatsapati district. Because of the survey, I could able to meet more than 30 leaders in different districts. And Bhola Anand, actually, he is the grandfather of Atul Anand. And he is the first, actually, person from Parla Khemuti to become a teacher. And his job was just to take care of the cattle. And there was sometimes, actually, Mahajans were there during British time. And he was very poor. And he was just taking care of the cattle. And these missionaries, actually, when they went to this, I'm talking about Canadian Baptist missionaries, and they went to this Gatsapati district. And now, actually, Parla Khemuti divided from Gatsapati. So they found Bhola Anand. And Bhola Anand never thought, actually, he will go to school. But praise God that he not only completed his school, but he became the first person from his school, from his village to become a teacher. And God, actually, talked to him in a special way that, OK, why not you teach others? So because of him, actually, I had a talk with his grandson that because of him, more than hundreds of students, those who are very poor, those who are not able to afford the books or the stationaries, but these persons, he helps a lot. And he actually helped more than 100 students to graduate from the schools. So we believe that Christian missionaries not only gave the good education, but they have given the good students, the best student to our nation. As I said, OK, I've talked to many leaders, many in Odisha districts. And I had a talk with the Koraput pastors that what is the contributions of Christians in Koraput. Koraput is a place, actually, where more tribal people are staying. There was a time, hundreds of years before, there was no water, there was no electricity, means road constructions in Koraput because it's a hilly area. And Jakobs Wells Foundation and JELC chairs, they have done a tremendous work in Koraput. And this person, actually, the person, the right side, his name is Hemant Naik. And they are from Koraput. And these families, they are unable to take food even for every day. They are not able to take pre-mills. And these actually Jakobs Wells Foundation, they actually explore people. Those who are unable to have their meal, good meal every day. So they found Hemant Naik and his family. And now, actually, Hemant not only actually he completed his school and not only actually he has his own meal every day, but he graduated from Attencraft College. And now, he is actually teaching, I think, more than 300 students how actually they can be an influence, so they can keep their life for the society. JELC hostel actually also made a tremendous effort in Koraput districts. I think more than 3,000 students, they have accommodated a few years before. And because of that, from nearby places, many, not only Christians, but many different people, they came to the good educations, not only educations, but their family were able to sustain because I'm saying about the basic need of food, even that water facilities, even the electricity facilities from these Christians. And we know that Christians up there are given the best for my health care. And when we say health care, always CNC valour stand tall. And but when actually I had a talk with the Polankan districts people, even Koraput, Jaipur, nearby places, only Christians hospitals, they have made the best health care to the people. One of them is Bishamkottak Hospital, Lantaput Hospital, Nabramkabur Hospital, even German. So this hospital actually more than actually 100 years before the missionaries came and still it is giving the best health care facilities to the poor and needy. Those people, they are unable to go to very far places to get the best health care. But these missionaries, though they take very less amount, they have given the best medical health care to these people. Because of that, now this government actually, we have a KBK project means Koraput, Balangir and Kalahandi. Three districts, even in Odisha, they have made a special budget for this project. That these three districts, they are very far behind other districts in health care, in educations, in even the people they are, many people they are behind, actually below poverty line. So government also, as the Christians missionary, they have done their best to get the best health care. Now, government is doing also the best how actually the people below poverty line can come forward and have a good life. So when I talk to many Christian leaders, at the same time, I actually had a Google form and I sent to many non-Christians people that do you think actually Christians, they have given their best effort in health care, in educations or in any area actually you find. And most of the people, I think 30 people, they responded positively and that yes, we have seen that Christians, they have given the best for the society. And they feel that, okay, because of their love, because of their passions, because of their commitment for a better society, we have seen that they have come forward and blessed. And again, actually I asked a few Christians that why actually missionary people, they have given their lives and come, because one of them is a Ramstein and many leaders, they said, James 1, 27, pure religion and undefiled. We forgot and the father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their application, affliction. Then Proverbs 19, 17, whoever is generous to the poor, lends to the Lord. But that actually motivates the missionaries to come and serve. And not only they have given their time, talent, treasures, but do you know this jeep? It's jeep, it's all about Ramstein and his two sons, they died in the same jeep in Manohar. One more minute. Okay. Thank you, Pastor. So it's not all about time, it's not all about talent, it's not all about treasure, but it's all about sharing their lives to the bitumen of the society. So as I wind up here, still there is a huge gap, huge need in our country today. And as we believers, we have to come forward and stand in a gap that where there is a need, we see. And let we pray that Lord, you also bless me, bless my church, and how we can be a blessing. As we have seen Ramstein, his life 24 or 25 years completed as a death anniversary we celebrated that why not we responded at his church to bless our country and city. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for that presentation. I just have a couple of questions. One is, like so much has been done, contributed by the Christians, especially when it comes to mission hospitals and there's been a lot of contribution obviously. But if you see the status of the mission hospitals and the kind of need that is there, we see that there is a lot of need when you compare it to the corporate hospitals. So in your research, did you see any such efforts taken either by the mission organizations or the local hospitals, Christian bodies, to change that? Because obviously it's a great ministry. But do you think any efforts are being taken to change that? And if not, what would you recommend to remedy the situation? Actually recently I had a talk with few doctors. There was a time the hospital they were charging very nominal amount, 100 rupees. But now they are charging 300 rupees because hiring doctors and giving the best medical facilities today, doctors also demand money. So sometimes actually it's challenge for the mission hospitals to balance the both as they have given the suggestions that if the chairs come side by side, helping the people those who are leading this type of facilities. So when there is people coming up and we are unable to stand, we are unable to give the best effort because our resources are limited. So if the chairs comes, definitely it can happen. Right, just one more question is obviously the contribution in terms of education, health care, in upliftment of poor in all these places that you've mentioned, Kora Port and obviously Kandamal also I think to some extent. But Kajapati and all that. But my question is it has been, there's so much, but also we see side by side the persecution is also there. So what is really the mindset of the people towards Christians or Christian missionaries? On one hand they've experienced the kindness, generosity, the goodness of the ministry. On the other hand, there is the persecution. It's the same people, I don't know if it's the same who have actually received this. So what is really the mindset of the people? Have you had any experience in your research? Yeah, actually those people, they have taken the facilities from the hospitals or the schools. If they have encountered any believers or actually pastors, definitely they are not the one. Actually they are coming forward to persecute. But there are people, those who are behind and they are giving a different picture to these people that why they are coming because they want to change the religions. Because this is not right. So when the people they know the truth, definitely they are not actually poor perceptions. As I mentioned actually Graham Sten, the story of Graham Sten's that maybe few of us that know that the person who arrested Dara Singh, he's an inspector actually, now he came to Christ. I think he came to my wife's church and gave his testimony. That there was a time actually he was thinking that okay, Christians people, they just forcefully comfort people. But when he encountered with believers, with pastors, then he came to know it's not all about forcing. It's not all about changing the religion, but it's all about life. It's all about adolescence with God. Thank you. Thank you Subashish. So next we have Abu Bakr, Toby Loba. If you want to put any comments to the students who are presenting, you can do that. But I'm sorry we don't have time for questions from students, but feel free to ask them privately. So we have your success. Good morning everyone. Good morning success.
