- The guest speaker and pastor of Dimapur Sumi Baptist Church,
Benjamin Sumi, delivered a stirring message encouraging the graduates to remain
committed to the theme "The labourers are few." He emphasised that
God does not merely need a labourer who imitates and pretends, a person whose
words and actions do not align, but one who possesses integrity, commitment,
diligence and responsibility.
- He pointed out that just as everyone seeks the best in every
field—whether in a hospital, church or educational institution, God seeks those
who are truly committed to doing His kingdom work.
