 | | On January 9, 1957, the Tiv Church (the Nongo u Kristu u ken Sudan hen Tiv, literally, the Followers of Christ in the Sudan among the Tiv, and more commonly, the NKST) was officially established at Mkar with 1600 baptized members. |
 | | Already in December 1958, the NKST joined a larger grouping of evangelical denominations in Nigeria known to the Tiv as the Tarraya or Fellowship of Churches of Christ in the Sudan. |
