About Pastors’ Prayer Fellowship, Delhi (PPF-D) in brief
The tribals of the North-East (India), speaking in their respective dialects - yet understanding each other, held worship services in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi from time to time which culminated in the celebration of God's faithfulness - Gospel Centenary in the year 2010, marking the hundredth year of the arrival of the Gospel in the southern part of Manipur. As follow up to the centenary celebration, the Pastors Prayer Fellowship – Delhi (PPF-D) was formally formed and regular prayer meetings held every month thenceforward.
PPF-D, since its formation in 2010, has become an occasion to share concerns and burdens, and collective submission to the Almighty God by the member Pastors, the welfare and Spiritual growth of the parishes being the main purpose of the prayer. In cases of demise of members within its purview, the PPF-D members come together, re-affirm their oneness in Christ Jesus and pay condolences. Similarly, Holy Matrimonial ceremonies taking place are honoured by the Pastors. Newly arrived Pastors too are greeted enthusiastically in the precious name of Lord Jesus Christ and outgoing Pastors seen off ceremoniously by the PPF-D.
‘One Sunday Joint Worship Service’ was envisaged in 2013, which had to be postponed due to two invitations received that year from organizers of the nation-wide United Christian Prayer for India held at the Ramlila Ground, New Delhi on 30th November 2013; and the other one, NE Christian Meet 2013 on the theme “To¬gether In Christ,”, spearheaded by Mizo Innkhawm Pawl, Delhi, which was held at Sirifort Auditorium, New Delhi on 12th October 2013.
Notable activities conducted by the PPF-D where the working pastors/and lay leaders took active part during 2011-2014 are listed as below:-
1. A seminar on the theme, ‘Healthy Church’ was organized at EBCC Chapel on February 21, 2011 with Rev. Dr. Yang In Soon from South Korea as the Resource person for the benefit of the member pastors of PPF-D.
2. A Post-Gospel Centenary Mission Mandate was observed at EBCC Chapel, Dwarka on May 07, 2011 under the banner "Urban Mission- A Mass Involvement” (presented by Pu R.H. Hminglien Hmar of the Apostolic Indian Mission) and “Christ-like Life in Metropolitan City” (presented by Rev Ramkhaning of the Dwarka Community Church) followed by lively interactions/ discussions in each Session.
3. Carrying forward the zeal in them for becoming Christ-like nature, a Day was observed at Komrem Christian Fellowship Chapel, Munirka on May 07, 2012 with Rev Th Mangthianlal (Glocal Volunteers from Lamka) as its speaker.

6. One-day Pastors & spouses Retreat was held at EBCC Chapel, Dwarka on September 30, 2014 with Rev. Dr. J.M. Paupu and Mrs. Lucy Dimnu as the Resource persons.
There was still a general feeling of ‘Yearning for the Lord’ (Psalms 42: 2) within PPF-D fraternity. As such a One Sunday Joint Worship Service is planned on November 23, 2014 at CRPF Ground, JNU Old Campus, New Delhi for all to re-claim and re-affirm our unison in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
The joy of the LORD is our strength. Our God is able, and willing. Let us all lift our hands up, exalt Him so that the world could hear His voice. Let us continue praying in one accord with our undivided focus on the Almighty God. For our hope is found in Christ alone. Amen.
