The convention was a special opportunity to enable fellowship and spiritual growth.
The Indianapolis Zomi church was the host for the event. More than 500 guests came from all over the country.
Zomi (pronounced ZOH-Mee) members come from Myanmar, a Southeast Asian nation, formerly known as Burma. Many fled their homes to escape religious persecution for their Christian faith, and the recently intensified political unrest as a result of Myanmar armed forces (known as the Tatmadaw) seizing control of the country on February 1, 2021.
Under the theme "Prepare to Meet Your God," inspired by the biblical passage from Amos 4:12, speakers encouraged attendees to continue to place God first in their lives and prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
A very moving experience took place when Pastor P.L Thlenga, from Oklahoma Conference, shared a powerful Christ-centered message on Friday night. It ended with an altar call inviting people to surrender all to Jesus. As a result, a great number of souls came forward with public confessions, and tears of joy were evidence of many lives impacted by God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit.
The convention was a special opportunity to enable fellowship and spiritual growth. More than 8,000 miles away from their home country, Zomi children, youth, and adults had the opportunity to connect as a family, and get closer to God and each other.
