The gospel seeds of faith that were sown 150 years ago in Garo Hills continue to produce a harvest, a century and half later, as the Garo Baptist Convention began its historic four day Sesquicentennial Jubilee at Bethel A.bri (hill), 34 kms from Tura, on Thursday, marking a phenomenal celebration of the connection between the Almighty and his people.
The first day started with arrivals and registration of the delegates. The inaugural worship service was led by Rev. Dalim S. Sangma, followed by Key note address by Sundar Sangma, President of GBC.
A'chik Baptist Dalgipa Krima (ABDK) and Garo Baptist Convention (GBC) organised the Church Leader's Conference on Contextual Social Issues at the New Tura Field.
It must be noted that the demand for the inclusion of Garo language in the eight schedules of the Constitution of India is a long-pending and legitimate call.
