Living in the Inward Parts of Christ Jesus
“For God is my witness how I long after you all in the inward parts of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 1:8)
“Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.” (Eph. 4:16)
If we would have the reality of the Body of Christ, we must allow Christ to make His home in our hearts (Eph. 3:17). If we would live in the reality of the Body of Christ, we need to live in the inward parts of Christ Jesus (Phil. 1:8). The more we live in the inward parts of Christ Jesus, the greater will be our consciousness of the Body of Christ and the stronger will be our feeling for the Body of Christ. (The Reality of the Body of Christ, I, II, III).

GTCA and FTTA Gospel Trips
All Europe trips concluded on February 7 and North America trips concluded on February 11. Please pray that the Lord will grace the saints participating in the follow-up. Pray that He will continue to prepare the hearts of all the people contacted, guarding them from the enemy, solidly connecting them with the local saints for appointments, and causing them to read the Bibles they received so they can be enlightened and nourished by the Word.
FTTA Middle-Age
Beseech the Lord to bring 45 new trainees to the spring term, which begins March 11. Pray especially that this number would include many saints born in North America and also at least seven Spanish-speakers (last fall, for the first time in 17 years, there was no Spanish-speaking section in the training).
