188real and definite stumbling block to total unity of thepeople.The wounds caused by this problem need to be healedby spiritual power. The K.C.C. has been able to help thereconciliation process between the opposing groups forbetter and healthier understandiny of the problem.It isno~, of course, the direct problem of the K.C.C.; it is theproblem of the Kuki people as awhole, which indirectlyaffects the church.Challenges for the FutureThe Kuki Christian Churr.h is the fruit of God'smighty works among the Kukis.It is a unique history in thesense that the pagan, head-hunter Kukis of the nineteenthcentury have become Christians in such large numbers in thetwentieth century that the whole tribe is now at leastnominally Christian.What made them Christians, or why did they becomeChristians? Dr. T. Lunkim gives three reasons for thetribals of Manipur becoming Christians which reasons applyperfectly to the Kuki situation also. They are: 1) peacea~ong the warLing tribes was needed for their survival, 2)education was a force that attracted the people, 3) theydesired freedom from the fear of evil spirits and ~emons.These reasons are no doubt true, but they would be too rationalwithout considering the more important spiritualaspect.The Kukis became Christians because that is whatGod in Christ had destined them to be a t a certain point oftime in their history.And the beginning of the twentieth
18':lcentury was the time appointed by divine providence for theKukis to become Christians.If the three reasons given byDr.Lunkim had not been accompanied by the Kuki's longingfor the true God and His redemptive work in Jesus Christ,the result would never have been the spiritual revival thatactually occurred.Becoming aChristian under any circumstance is neverwholly a human affair; it is a divine act (through politicaland social changes of the people). The factors mentionedby Dr.Lunkim were present when the initial planting ofChristianity among the Kukis occurred, but one needs to luokdeeper than the surface to see the inner longing of the Kukisoul.The Kukis were a people who had come to their presentlocation in India in search of a kingdom. God has giventhem the eternal Kingdom of His Son Jesus Christ, and theyhave already begun to enjoy the benefits of this (His)eternal and spiritual Kingdom.The reality of His Kingdom needs to be realized inall aspects of the lives of the Kukis.In order for this tohappen, some things must be done:1. First, the culturally homogeneous Kuki Christiansshould come together into one Kuki Christian Church.There are still alarge number of Baptists and Presbyterianswho have not yet joined the Kuki Christian Church.In orde~to grow we all should learn how to grow together as part ofthe one body of Christ in His Kingdom.This call for unityis made with a view to strengthening the mission of discip-
