Kuki Worship Service - Mumbai

The first KWS (M) worship meeting was held at the Gyan Ashram, Andheri (E), under the aegis of KSO(M), led by Pu Mangneo Haokip, Chaiman, YWAM, Mumbai on January 18, 2009. Pu Mangneo shared the work of God and urged each of the members to examine our motives for formation of KWS(M). With a lot of self introspection, the congregation of the first KWS(M) meet prayed to the Almighty seeking if the time was actually right for the KWS(M) to be started. The first meet turned out to be better than expected. Subsequent meeting / services were held under the leadership of KSO(M) and Pu Mangneo Haokip, Chairman YWAM, Mumbai. After sometime there was a felt need to form an Executive Committee and give shape and body to KWS (M).

On May 30, 2009 a meeting was held and the Executive Committee (EC) members for KWS(M) were selected on this day by the members present. They were: Chairman – Pu T. Lhungdim, Secretary – Gl. Jangchon Lhouvum and Finance Secretary – Pu Lunkhongam Haokip and thus was formed the first KWS(M) Executive Committee. It was also resolved that Pu Mangneo Haokip, Chairman YWAM, Mumbai will be the chaplain of the KWS(M). Thus in this humble way, the Kuki Worship Service, Mumbai has been formed.

Presently we have regular worship service on the 1st and the 3rd week of every month at Gyan Ashram, Andheri (E). Present Executive Committee are : Chairman – Pu T.Lhungdim, AGM, RBI, Secretary – Pu Jangkholen (Lenpu) Lupheng, Inspector, Customs & Excise, Finance Secretary – Pu Lunkhongam, Sr. Tax Assistant, income Tax. As of now, about 40-50 members attend the service on an average.

Presently KWS-Mumbai sponsor one Missionary – Pu Mangneo Haokip, YWAM, Lonavala and family. KWS(M) immediate need is a Pastor.
