 He lehkhabu ‘Indona Ruamah’ tih hi Lalhriata ziak niin, phek 219 a chhah, kum 2012-a chhuah niin, a chhuahtu hi Synod Literature & Publication Board a ni. Nula leh tlangval inkara hmangaihna chungchang tarlanna a nih rualin he thawnthuah hian missionary rawngbawlna a lang tam ber thung! He thawnthu hi nula leh tlangval inhmangaih, a changtupa zawk missionary-a a kal tak avanga a bialnu nena in\hen ta, a hnua harsatna hrang hrang tawk dun a, Pathian ruat ni ngei tura ngaih theiha intawng leh ta chanchin tarlanna, ramthim rawngbawlna chanchin tarlanna leh pathian thiltihtheihzia tarlanna a ni.
