Pu Khupkhochin is a retired pastor, who was baptized by Pu Thawngluan, in 1967. 
His father, Pu Selzagin and mother, Pi Donzavung also accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

“One day, my father, who was very old felt sick so much so that he wants to offer sacrifice to our forefather's unknown god. But we advised him we are believers (tapidaw) of Christ, such offering is against our faith. We should not perform offering to unknown god like unbelievers (lawki) does. Then he obeyed us.”

 “My father while on his sickbed, told to me, he happened to sit on an aeroplane and seen  the heaven with his own eyes. After seeing this vision, my father ventured out into villages in preaching the gospel.... No body told him to do so. Until his death, he stopped drinking ‘Zu’, wine.”
