- Revival in Nagaland
The Revival in Nagaland was one of the most remarkable mass-conversion events of the 20th century.
Christian mission began in
Nagaland , a small state in northeastIndia , borderingMyanmar , in the late 19th century. Revivals took place in 1956, 1966 and 1972. [P. Johnstone and J. Mandryk, "Operation World" (6th edn, Paternoster Publishing, London 2001),330-1. ] The result is that Nagaland is a predominantlyChristian state. The largest denominations areBaptist s, as a result of the work of American Baptist Missionaries.In the year 1962 in a village in
Kohima started "The Great Awakening" when theHoly Spirit came upon the believers ofChrist and they were moved by the power of the Holy Spirit, as were many non-Christians, who then became Christians.The
Church leaders and theChristians were inspired by the power of the Holy Spirit and it spread to many parts of the state in Nagaland. Later "The Nagaland Christian Revival Church" was formed and it helped in spreading the gospel "Revival" to all the parts of Nagaland and its neighbouring states as well.
