The Sino-Tibetan tribes of North East India (Assam) have proved over time to have been among the most responsive people groups to the Christian gospel.
The Nagas and the Mizos (their southern neighbours) have both developed missionary sending churches. The author, relying on earlier accounts (there is a useful Bibliography, but unfortunately no map to show how the Nagas and their neighbours relate to India and Burma), tells the history of the initial evangelisation of each of the 13 different Nagaland tribes one by one, which is inevitably repetitive.
