Gamdang mite’ kepna khoina Mission hun panin ei leh ei a ki-uk a kikeem thei Pawlpi-Church hun tung ta hang i kicih nopna khat ahi hi. Tua ahih leh mission kici kammal eite in i zatna ding a kisapna om nawn lo hi i ci thei ding hiam? Hih dotna in tu-a i kikup nop pen thu a hi hi. Mission bangcih nopna hiam? Lai Siangtho hilh siam Rev. Dr. John Stott in hi bangin ci ngei hi: ‘Pasian in Pasian a hihna hanga na a sepnate in mission hi. Lai Siangtho sunga nungta Pasian pen thupuak Pasian hi i cih ciangin Mission khiatna gen hi hang’ ci hi. Pasian in a Tapa Lungdamna Thu puak dingin hong paisak a, tua mah bangin eite zong tua Lungdamna Thu hilh sawn, gen sawn dingin Jesuh in thu hong pia hi.

Thu khat panin, ‘Pasian na sem ni’, ‘Gupna thu, Lungdamna Thu gen ni,’ i cih ciangin thu haksa lo tawh a kibat hangin, ‘Bang ci sep ding, bang ci gen ding?’ cih thu i gen ciangin ngaihsutna kibang kim pah loin, kikup ding thu tampi tak hong piang thei hi. Tua pen tang lai-in zong hi a, tu hunin zong hi ve ve hi.
Lai Siangtho siam khat ahi Leighton Ford in a genna panin Thuciam Thak Bu sunga Pasian nasepzia (Evangelism) pawl thumin hong lak hi.

2. Khat leh khat kikep kikhoina tawh teci panna (Diakonia). Cinatna nam tuamtuam a veite damsakin, dawite hawlkhia-in Jesuh in Pasian na seem hi (Marka 1:34).
3. Lungdamna Thu genna, pulakna tawh teci panna (Kerygma). Mawhnate kisik a, Lungdamna Thu saang dingin Jesuh in thu hilh hi. (Marka 1.14) Tanglai sawltakte hun lai-in zong hi bangin na seem uh hi.

Gambup Pawlpi in a hi zong, khua pawlpi in a hi zong, mi pum khat in a hi zongin Pasian na i sepna uh, Jesuh a ding teci i pan’na-ah hih thu thumte ki-itna tawh kipawlna (fellowship or koinonia), hehpihna tawh nasepna, gamtatna (service or diakonia), leh kam tawh hilhna, pulakna (proclamation or kerygma) a kicingin i zat kim ding, i zuih kim ding a hi hi.
I phawk kik ding thu pawl khat om hi. Pasian Thu, Lungdamna Thu, Lai Siangtho Thu, Khristian Thu Upna kici leh biakna dang a tuamtuamte kilamdanna lianpen in Kha nuntakna thu a hi hi. Lungdamna Thu kici-in mihingte in mawhna sungah a sihna pan nuntak kikna a ngahna thu cih nopna hi. Johan 3:16 in a gen zong tua thu hi. Tua hi-a tanglai mah bangin tu hunin zong Jesuh Khrih a saang, Amah hanga nuntakna thak a ngah, Amah hanga mi thak a suak leitungah a ni ni, a kha kha-in kibehlap tawntung a hih manin Topa min i phat hi. Tua laitak mahin gupna thu, suahkikna thu, lungdamna thu a saang nuam lo, a saang thei lo mi tampi tak Pawlpi sung mahah a hi zong, Khristian kici min pua mite lakah a hi zong om lai a hih manin dahhuai hi. Tua bangin thu-um nai lo, Pawlpi pua lamah a om lai mite i teci pan’na kitelh zo lo hi. Amau ading thu i ngetsak ding i tavuan lian hi. Tua ciangin Lai Siangtho thu a thei, suahkikna thu a kamngah, Lungdamna Thu a thei, a hih hangin amah pen Jesuh tungah a ki-ap lo Jesuh thu a zui lo hi napi’n ama theih bang a thei lote a simmawh pawl khat a om manin dahhuai sem hi. Tua ciangin amah in gupna thu sang a, kha nuntakna zong ngah takpi hi napi, ama muhna leh theihna bang leh zuihna bang a ngah nai lote a hi zong, ngah nai a sak lohte a hi zongin te pen neu et kha pah a, amah leh amah tawh kibang zaw diakteng pen ‘misiangtho’ pawl lima kibawla pawl tuam phuan a hi zong, a phuat sawm a hi zong om thei hi.
Tua banah amahin suahtakna, nuntakna thak, kikheelna thak a ngah kha beek zong hi lo napi tua ‘misiangtho’ pawl penah va kihel sam a, amau pawla kihel lote a thusim hiau lo mi pawl khat mah om hi. A taktakin ci leeng hi banga thu zuau gen a, a kineih, tuu vun a silh ngiate hangin mi tampite in Jesuh hotkhiatna thu sang thei lo uh hi kha ding hi. Lam khat panin tua banga a kineih a kibawlte hanga ei a lunghihmawh, a deih taktak kimlai-in Jesuh thu thudon lo-a mot om pen lah dahhuai sawnsawn hi.
Tua ahih ciangin Pawlpi makaite, thuhilh siate leh thu-um mite khempeuh in i Pasian nasepna, i teci pan’na kingaihsun pha ciat ni. Lungdamna Thu a kicingin mi buppi adingin hilh ding hi. Gupna in tawntung nuntakna thu hi a, tua kha a nei mipa/minu in pumpi leh lungsim nei mihing a hih mah bangin, it khin hehpih khin, gum khin nuam hi. Gum thei hi. I thu hilhna in vantung lam bek sukha lo-in leitung zong a suk khak ding hi. Jesuh vantungah om den lo-in leitung ah hong kumsuk ciangin Lungdamna Thu kici hong piang thei pan bek hi. Pasian Thu a za nai lo, gupna thu a sang nai lo, khuavak a ngah nai lo mite lakah “Leitung ci” leh “Leitung khuavak” i suah ding pen i mission nasep hi. Ci leh khuavak in leitung panin al kei luateh, mial luateh ci-in kidaithah mawk-le-uh amaute a alsak, a vaksak Jesuh adingin amau geelin kimanna nei lo suak ding hi. Khatvei College ah ka kah lai-in ka siapa un Khristian nuntak zia ding, pawlpi nuntak zia ding hong lahna tu dongin ka mit kha-ah luai lai hi. Suang laivom sungah mihing lungtang a hi zong, pawlpi lungtang lim a hi zongin dingin beem (o) golpi gelh hi. Tua beem laizang takah beem khat gelh kikin, tua sungah Khrih omsak phot hi. Tua Khrih beem panin Pasian tawh kipawlna (worship), lawmte tawh kipawlna (fellowship), Lai Siangtho simna (Bible study), thungetna (prayer), thuhilhna (proclamation/preaching), leh gamtatna nasepna (service) te hong mengkhia sakin a gol beempi pen a kikim ciatin hong kihawmsak liailiai hi. “Jesuh Khrih sungah i khantohna a kidom kim ding hi, khen tuam dei tuam om lo ding hi” hong ci hi.
Tua ahih ciangin thugenin, Lai Siangtho enin Mission leh Evangelism thu pawlpi in lim takin a ngaihsut ding thupi hi. Kha mangthang a zong lo pawlpi in a mangthang pawlpi hi a kicih mah bangin mi ngah na’ng i hanciam ding hi. Tua kha mangthang i zawn penin nang leh keimah bangin a gilkial thei, natna satna a thei pumpi nei, a heh thei, a nuam thei, a dah thei lungsim nei hi cih zong phawk khial lo-in, Jesuh mah bangin a buppi-in i it ding hi. Jesuh in a phel lang khat bek it lo hi. “Kha Siangtho tua bangin kikaisak lecin (lehang), vantung na seem dingin siam ding sawt lo-in.”
