Life, growth and work are but interlinked to and determinant of each other. This is true and to all beings and institutions alike. The Church is of course never an exception, where its life and growth is measured through its Ministries and Mission work. The Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Synod, the first Church to be operated and ministered in the North Eastern parts of India, is very much deep rooted in this foundation since its inception. The Synod, over the passage of time, has continued to extend its services to God and man through its various Mission works, across the length and breadth of this great nation and its neighboring countries. The Lord has indeed tremendously blessed and gracefully guided the Synod throughout all these one hundred and seventy four years of its existence, as we walked and march in the light of His wisdom, and as He unfolds before us the varied Missions amidst our diverse and directed visions.

Noting the fact that the society at large is ghastly engulfing itself into this dynamic changing globalised world, of which the Church is found to be more wanting, the Synod which was held at Umsaw Khwan Presbyterian Church, from the 11th to the 14th March 2010, together with the support and valuable advice from the Pastor’s Conference (Jingiaseng Iasyllok ki Pastor) saw the value of Mission work amongst the most neglected and suffered lot of the society, in one voice decided to constitute another Mission and named it the “Urban Mission.” This daunting task has been entrusted to the Mission and Evangelism Department of the Synod, for it to chalk out a special Scheme for the said Mission.
