Dimapur, May 31 (EMN): A book titled ‘Simple Bible study book for prisoners’ authored by director of Aloino Centre, Anshely Sumi, was released by senior superintendent, Central Jail Dimapur, Imtiangshi Ao, at a brief programme held inside the jail premise on Wednesday.
The author Anshely who is also the chaplain of Central Jail, in her introduction to the book, said the book comprising of 12 foundational topics was a product of her ministry with prisoners and widows for 7-8 years. She said apart from the sermons and ministering of God’s word to the prisoners during church services, the book would enable the prisoners to study and read the Word of God by themselves in private.
Dedicating the book to all prisoners housed in various jails in the state, Anshely hoped that the book would help transform the lives of inmates both within and outside the prison walls.
Both the senior superintendent who released the book and jailor, Dr. Oben Yanthan, who chaired the programme, acknowledged the dedication and commitment of Anshely towards reformation and rehabilitation of prisoners.
Pastor of Police Baptist Church Chumukedima, Rev. Manen, offered special prayer on the occasion.
Besides Central Jail authorities and staff, executive secretary, Nagaland Police Baptist Church Association, Rev. Dr. HA Zhimomi, also attended the release programme.
