He also shared that the National Leaders like National General Secretaries, National Vice Presidents and National Secretaries will all be INCHARGES of few of the 28 States and all Union Territories and also for few of the 17 Wings with which they will constantly be in follow up to see that they all perform well and deliver. If need be, the leader may visit those states or the leaders of that state may visit the leader and however the INCHARGE will be all the time ensuring the success and surging ahead of those states and wings in their care.
- Mrs. Brighty Beulah shared about her experience of visiting the Maharashtra state and how many queries there were answered face to face during that visit with Mrs. Alice Lobo and her Leaders in NCC Maharashtra state.
- She said the main question was what does NCC give us and what about funding.
- She illustrated that there are 17 wings out of which even if 12 Wings conduct a major event only ONCE a year concerning their wing’s focus that will keep the NCC banner in the public eye. She said each wing if they have 3 or 4 patrons that can help with this major program that would be very helpful and all the expenses related to that program could be raised by that Wing (PST) President, Secretary & Treasurer.
- She shared that all of us are capable of doing so many things in our ministries and we have done so much as individuals or as one Church or as ONE denomination. But NCC gives us a NATIONAL PLATFORM to perform across the country through all the denominations both Protestant and Catholic Churches and NCC will help us to be a witness to our LORD together as we are UNITED to SERVE through NCC.
- By enrolling members in large numbers in various wings and by being the voice of the voiceless, we empower the remote rural Pastor or a Christian Leader in NCC to do their work with ease. The new mobile based website gives us this power to use technology to present our strength in a democracy and get our work done with local authorities as needed as NCC Leaders.
- She briefed how the Jammu & Kashmir launch program led to the meeting with the Honorable Minister of Minority Affairs in Delhi Shri John Barla ji.
- The highlights of achievements of NCC Telangana State under the leadership of Bro. Alavala Karunakar, the State President and NCC Andhra Pradesh State under the leadership of the State President Dr. George Muller and the other Key AP State leaders were shared. It brought much encouragement to the visiting leaders from Jharkhand State and all in the meeting took cognizance that there is a big difference between North India and South India but the examples serve us to surge ahead.
