    The cosmopolitan city of Corinth was the site of one of the apostle Paul's greatest evangelistic successes.

    paperback

    From Head-Hunters to Church Planters

    An Amazing Spiritual Awakening in Nagaland

    by Paul Hattaway

    There is a tendency today to associate revival and miracles with charismatic churches, but there were none of those in Nagaland when God first brought revival there.

As a result, Nagas found their true dignity not in themselves, their ethnic roots, their head-hunting, or the defense of their homeland, ...
