The three-day Nagaland Revival and Healing Festival 2025 commenced on Tuesday, attracting over 35,000 attendees, primarily youth, at the Multi-Disciplinary Sports Complex in Dimapur. The inaugural evening featured a praise fiesta with performances by local music groups, followed by a sermon from Apostle Ankit Sajwan of the Family of Lord Jesus Church, who emphasized healing, unity, and a renewed identity in Christ. He encouraged attendees to embrace their healing as a testament of faith and described the event as a reflection of divine glory and unity among believers, urging a revival of the “Nagaland for Christ” slogan. Sajwan warned against a faith that lacks the transformative power of God, advocating for a return to Scriptural foundations.
Rev. Moses Murry of the Assembly of God (NEI) acknowledged the significance of the festival for Dimapur and urged participants to surrender to Jesus for miraculous blessings. Organised by The Gatekeepers, the festival aims to renew Nagaland’s Christian identity and promote generational revival. The evening included testimonies of healing and a main service lasting into the night, supported by various public amenities such as food stalls, special seating, and assistance services, enhancing the overall experience for all participants.
