- The Making of 'From Longkitsüngba to Jehovah.'
This documentary was a long time coming and for many reasons and mainly to sensitise a very integral aspect of Naga History - the planting of Christianity in Nagaland and the local efforts in the process of Christianization. After more than three years, this documentary is finally ready.
Considering the modern times, viewers may expect a better screenplay and acting, but let it be known that these are purely the local efforts having acted without any formal or informal training. Yet, this is what we think is our best effort and in consideration of our limited resources.
Molungkimong Baptist Church, invite viewers to watch this documentary with open mind and heart. We pray that this documentary will not only make one revisit history but also a time to reflect God's mighty works and how it unfolded in our land.

A big congratulations to Molungkimong Baptist Church and all those involved in the making of this beautiful and a very educative documentary. As i can see, the documentation, the animations and the enacting of the nostalgic scenes... a lot of resources has gone into the making of this documentary. The number of 'screen' labels testifies the awards most deserving, so congratulations to the team.
This documentary is a beautiful reminder of the condition of Nagas past and a Christianised people today. Naga people will forever remain grateful to the forefathers of Molungkimong who through their visionary and sacrificial efforts paved the way for the Coming of Christianity to Nagaland.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the new documentary film. Well done, Molungkimong Baptist Arogo and the film production team for this momentous achievement! Such a docu.film was long overdue in the midst of some confusion or misinterpretation that cropped up in the history of Christianity in Naga Hills. Narratives may change but the moving picture in the form of documentary film will remain for posterity. From this moment on, may the life of the Church of Christ at Molungkimong and beyond spring forth for His glory in a renewed way. God bless!
