December 2021 Semiannual Training
The Semiannual Training for the churches in LA and Santa Clarita is taking place this week on the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. Pray for the saints to receive and respond to the Lord’s burden in His up-to-date speaking, and to participate as much as possible in study times. Pray that through this training the Triune God will operate more in us to accomplish His will, fulfill His purpose, and satisfy the desire of His heart.
FTTA
Last weekend, 50 trainees graduated from the FTTA and 6 trainees graduated from FTTA-XB. Please continue to pray for all these ones to follow the Lamb wherever He may go. Pray also for many college graduates and young working saints to answer God’s call to go to the FTTA next term. A video of the graduation meeting is available for a limited time at http://ftta.org.
Bibles for America
In light of this past year’s many challenges, Bibles for America hosted a special webinar with a particular fellowship concerning the Lord’s commission to the church to proclaim the gospel and teach the truth. The webinar also went over how to acquire BfA materials such as gospel tracts, NTs, and books to give away, as well as how the Lord has made a way for BfA to continue reaching people with God’s Word in 2021. A recording may be viewed at http://biblesforamerica.org/videos/webinar-recording-dec2021 with password gospelandtruth. May God’s Word continue to run throughout this country, and may He gain our cooperation to preach the gospel and teach the truth.
European Winter School of Truth
This year’s European Winter School of Truth for young people is being organized regionally and run locally, with most of the dozen or so regions offering an in-person or online option from December 26 to 31. The subject is “God’s Full Salvation.” Please pray for the saints preparing for the WST, the willingness of all the YP and parents to participate, and for the Lord’s specific shepherding of each one.
Europe
Please continue to pray for the raising up of the Lord’s testimony in major European cities and particularly the migration of burdened saints to six designated cities—Barcelona, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Rome, and Zurich. More details on these cities can be found at http://lordsmove.org/reports.html.
