National College Training: Those Who Love His Appearing
Second Timothy 4:8 speaks of all those who love our Lord’s appearing. The prayers of thousands of saints allowed the Lord to take a big step at the training culminating with the students declaring, I will give myself to be an overcomer, To see a heav’nly vision, Keep my flaming spirit burning! I give myself to You, to turn this age.
Now we need the same intensity of prayer by all ages for continuing consecration, more seeing and burning, and increased announcing of the gospel until the Lord can come back.
A larger number of short video testimonies from many students are at http://www.ageturners.com/2015-nationalcollege-training-highlights-page/.
A video overview of the training is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=163&v=S8GunuiLZ8E.
FTTA and Boston Extension
FTTA began last week Monday. The Lord brought 155 first termers. The total number of trainees this term is 372. Both numbers are the most ever in FTTA and both are answers to prayer!
This week the first termers learn which team they are on and who is their gospel partner. Please pray for their opening to the Lord and willingness to be blended!
FTTA-xB, the third year training in Boston, also began Monday, August 10. There are 25 trainees, 20 entering and 5 returning. This number is lower than in the spring term; please pray for an increase in Boston.

They passed out thousands of tracts and got contact information for over 100, the most ever. Please pray for the follow up labor with all the positive contacts:
- That they would respond to the invitation and personal contact and come to the welcome events on campus

Also, the freshmen move into the dorms on Wednesday. Pray that we would be able to establish many warm and solid connections with them right away. Pray that the Lord would sweep in their hearts and prepare them, stirring up their seeking for the Lord. May our students be empowered with the economical Spirit to boldly spread the word during this critical week!
Junior High Gospel Perfecting Conference and
All Southern California Young People Blending Meeting
There is a burden to change the atmosphere of our work with the young people from a defensive work of preservation to an offensive work of propagation, and to bring our second generation into a normal gospel preaching life.

- a strong and exercised beginning of the training.
- a renewed consecration from all the trainees (both incoming and returning) that the Lord would have His way to do whatever He needs to do to further His economy.
Oak Glen Christian Conference Center
The churches in Southern California are in escrow to buy Oak Glen, a conference center in Yucaipa where we have held young people’s conferences. Oak Glen is larger, much easier to drive to, and at a lower elevation than Engedi. A detailed review of Oak Glen has not found any major problems. The brothers overseeing this purchase are turning their attention to a master plan for refurbishment and enlargement. The intention is that Oak Glen will be a gathering place for all ages, for small groups, individual churches, and clusters of churches as well as for our young people and college students.
A meeting to present Oak Glen in a full way will be held at the Ministry Conference Center in Anaheim, Saturday, August 22, 7 to 9 pm. This meeting will have translation into Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese. There will be no childcare provided but a room in the same building will be available as an overflow room with live video and English audio for parents with young children.
A brief video about Oak Glen is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp4AgX7zhiY.

This is the largest gathering of Native Americans in the world, with 45,000 people attending and 1500 teepees set up. The burden is to give away 1000 Bibles at this time. Past BfA distributions have found the Native American peoples in this area to be pleasantly receptive to the Recovery Version.

Summer School of Truth
Praise the Lord for His blessing in this year's Summer School of Truth. There was a genuine atmosphere of seeking the Triune God among all the young people this past week. As we experienced His rich dispensing, the Triune God became real, not only as doctrine or knowledge, but as a Person who lives in us and is constantly caring for us every moment of every day.
There was a strong conclusion to SSoT, both in the final meeting Saturday night and in the various district meetings on Lord's Day. Many shared on the workshops and messages that were given to introduce daily life practices to initiate contact with the Lord and to keep the dialogue open no matter the difficult circumstances.
Pray for a rich continuation of the good deposit in all the young people as they descend on their junior high and high school campuses this semester. Also pray for the Lord's leading and direction in the serving ones for the continual care of the young people.
Internet
Matthew 7:7 says, "...seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you." Please ask the Lord to fulfill His word and bring many hungry seekers to find nourishment on internet sites which present the riches of the ministry. These include BfA, Rhema Books, LSM online publications, Witness Lee and Watchman Nee websites, Recovered to the Bible, and many web sites of churches, campus clubs, and individuals.
Please pray also for the saints who give time each week to “war the good warfare” (1 Tim. 1:18) for the Lord’s move on the internet.
Alaska
On June 27-28 and July 11-12 the church in Anchorage distributed approximately 280 New Testament Recovery Versions and 380 ministry books at the Anchorage Market and Festival.

Additionally, the saints in Alaska recently sent an email to BfA recipients throughout the state to find out if any would like to participate in a local or online Bible study. Please pray that the Lord would motivate many to respond and that they would be connected in a solid way to a Bible study. Pray also for the Lord’s leading and the abundant supply of grace for the saints as they care for those who respond.

National College Training: Consecrated Age Turners
The National College Training concluded July 18, but the burden goes on. May we all become a corporate, praying “Hannah” to bring forth these young ones as today’s “Samuel,” a corporate Nazarite willing to cooperate with God to be His age-turners and end this age.
From http://beseeching.org: We consider that the National College Training was the beginning of a new era in the Lord’s move on the campuses and must strongly pray for its continuation. We believe that the time is near for the Lord’s coming and this generation will see His face! In particular, pray that the students would:
- Establish a set time and place each day to romantically love the Lord and eat His word in the morning;
- Immediately commit to daily read His word;
- Walk by the Spirit in daily life, shining as an anti-testimony in the midst of the darkness of this present age;
- Experience outpouring of the economical Spirit of power by participating in the prayer meetings of the church and by preaching the gospel with authority;
- Pray with companions regularly, being built up with one another and loosing their friends and classmates to be saved;
- Daily renew their consecration before the Lord for the rest of their lives to turn this age;
- Bring the fire of the Lord’s recovery to all of His saints in His recovery and be a factor to usher in the final revival that will bring the Lord back!

It is our desire that the Lord would have a way to reach each young person attending this conference, that each young person’s love for the Lord would grow and that they would consecrate themselves in a deeper and more thorough way in this conference. We therefore ask all the churches to stand with us in prayer during the conference that the Word of the Lord would be prevailing.
Through this conference in past years, many U.S. young people have been brought into the Lord’s burden for Europe. Lord, do more this summer for Your move to and in Europe!

The National College Training concluded Saturday. The report from Friday night, with the corporate consecration of 1300 college students: “The atmosphere was palpable, electrifying, and unquenchable! And all who were there will have the memory of tonight stamped into their being. Lives have been changed and the Lord has gained what He is after!” (Longer daily reports and photos are at http://beseeching.org.)
Let us continue to petition the Lord to:
• keep the fire burning in every student who attended;
• bring this atmosphere of consecration to other students in the recovery and to all the churches;
• release the gospel through the students wherever they are before their school year; and

Summer School of Truth
L.A.’s Summer School of Truth will be July 24 to August 1. This year we will cover Lesson Book 2 - The Triune God and the Person and Work of Christ. First Corinthians 8:4 says, “There is no God but one.” Although our God is one, there is something mysterious about Him. In Matthew 28:19 the Lord Jesus says, “Baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Here the Lord speaks clearly of the three—the Father, Son, and Spirit. But “name” is singular. The burden for the upcoming SSoT is for the young people to enter into a normal and genuine touch with the Lord, day by day, so that the mysterious Triune God would no longer be a mystery to them. May the Lord cause all the young people to become loving-seekers and loving-experiencers of the processed and consummated Triune God.
Also pray that the Lord would cover all aspects of coordination and fellowship leading up to the SSoT for a bountiful release of the Triune God.

New Training Center in Mexico City
FTT Mexico began in 1999 as a section of FTTA. It moved to Mexico City in 2002. The training center used since then needs to be replaced because 1) by the fall semester it will be overcrowded, 2) it is one hour from UNAM, the number one university in Mexico, which frustrates trainees in practicing campus work, and 3) the area around this training center is less secure than when we began here.
We agreed to purchase a new facility which is much larger, only 11⁄2 miles from UNAM, and in one of the safest locations in Mexico City. The cost is 3.5M US$; we have received a little over 2M US$ and made a 50% down payment.We need 1.5M US$ by August 15 to obtain the title. Please pray for this.
Offerings may be given to the church, designated for the Mexico City training center.

Pray that these young believers as a group will offer themselves willingly in the splendor of their consecration and be like the dew from the womb of the dawn, watering Christ in the day of His warfare (Psa. 110:3). Beseech on their behalf that not one of them will despise their youth, but will become a pattern to the saints (1 Tim. 4:12).

Summer Training
In the winter training we saw the salvation and provision of God bringing us to the kingdom. The result is that we come to the mountain of God where we spend time with Him (as Moses did), He speaks to us, and He shines into us to make us shining.

The Need for a New Revival
God became man to make man God in life, nature, and expression but not in the Godhead so that God could produce and build up a corporate expression. When we have a vision of this, the God-man living comes forth. This living has a function—shepherding.
In this conference we saw the high peak of divine revelation. What should we do? In 2 Samuel 7:5-17 Nathan spoke a high peak of revelation to David. David’s response: he “went and sat before Jehovah” (v. 18) and prayed (v. 18-29). Like David, let us pray, Lord, do in us what You have spoken. Penetrate our living. Bring forth Your shepherding through us.
Summer Training
In the winter training we saw the salvation and provision of God (ch. 1–17) bringing us to the kingdom (ch. 18). The result is that we see the vision of God’s building and enter into the building work (ch. 19–40). Lord, grant us all more vision and more building!
Lord, give each one of us a heart to love Your word and to receive this training in a fresh way.

- the Lord bring at least 40 new trainees for the entire fall term.
Korean-speaking Bible Seminar in LA
We had a very special seminar last Saturday. Seventy-five new ones participated and the majority of them were young men in their 20s and 30s (55 were from one theology school). Also many young saints functioned in various services including becoming the host in the group sessions. We all enjoyed what grace is and how we can enjoy the Lord as grace.
Please pray that:
- These new ones could remain in contact with the saints who were in the same group session.
- We could maintain a good relationship with the theology school and this school could be open door
for the gospel of kingdom. - More young brothers and sisters would function in gospel preaching and shepherding.
London
From April to May, we had a series of 8 weekend retreats in London. 653 attended these retreat weekends, including 218 new ones. The subject was God's Eternal Purpose as Seen in the Book of Ephesians. During these two months, all were infused with a seeing that God's eternal purpose, His heart's desire is the church. Please pray for all those 218 new ones to be contacted and shepherded and to enter into the church life.

On June 13 we had our sixth seminar in this series of six. The topic was “The Vision of the Glorious Church.” The atmosphere of the seminar was pleasant. 13 saints and 5 new ones attended. Two of the new ones attended this seminar series for the first time. There is a feeling among us to continue the seminars in some way. This also was shared with the attendees at the seminar.
We are so thankful for the prayer support of the Body. As a direct result of the seminars a very good connection has been established with a sister from outside of Prague, with a brother who lives close to Prague, and with one couple from Prague. The sister who came from 170 km east of Prague will arrange a time of fellowship in her town with some other seeking believers whom she knows. This will probably be in second half of July. We would like to continue with the seminars in September and perhaps even try to have some seminars in other cities.
Sri Lanka
In the past 6 months, the Lord moved rapidly in Sri Lanka through the coordination of the Body. Overseas saints came to labor in one accord with the local saints for various moves from December to April. The Lord indeed poured out His blessing. The church in Mannar was raised up, and the saints were full of burden to declare that they would co-labor with the Lord to raise up 17 local churches in the next 6 years.

Prayer, Week of June 14, 2015
The Need for a New Revival
John 21:15 “Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs.”
Three factors are necessary for the new and final revival: seeing the vision, living the life, and shepherding according to God. Our seeing must be so strong that we are energized, motivated, and governed. This will cause us to be one with the Lord in our living, which will issue in shepherding. Shepherding includes the gospel to sinners. Without shepherding, our vision and living do not stay healthy in our experience. When we love the Lord daily and shepherd His sheep, our vision and living stay fresh.
We need to follow the steps of the processed Triune God in seeking and gaining fallen people. Our not having the Father’s loving and forgiving heart and the Savior’s shepherding and seeking spirit is the reason for our barrenness. (message 5, outline I.B.1-2)
Summer Training
In the winter training we saw the salvation and provision of God (ch. 1–17) brining us to the kingdom (ch. 18). The result is that we see the vision of God’s building and enter into the building work (ch. 19–40). Lord, grant us all more vision and more building!
Please also pray for the bountiful supply to the brothers preparing to speak, and for wisdom to those caring for other preparations for the training.
National College Training, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
The National College Training is July 12-18 on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana-Champaign (halfway between St. Louis and Chicago). There are 1780 registered, representing 325 college campuses; 1405 are from 39 U.S. states and 375 are from 33 other nations. The goal of this training is to raise up a generation of age turners who will bring the Lord back. “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev. 22:20)
An invitation to pray for this training is at http://beseeching.org/prayer-for-college-training/. May we allow the Lord to move in an unprecedented way through our prayer!
Australia
Dick Taylor, James Lee, and Craig Birchler all arrive in Sydney the evening of Lord’s Day, June 14. They will have three days of fellowship with the leading brothers there about the Lord’s move. May the Lord’s light shine brightly and His life flow freely in this time to open the way for further building and blending throughout Australia.
Thursday, June 18 James and Craig return to California. Dick goes to Tasmania until Saturday, June 20 for a small conference and much informal shepherding. There are two small lampstands in Tasmania; please pray for the establishing of a lampstand in Hobart, the largest city in Tasmania.
Dick returns to L.A. Lord’s Day, June 21.
