His Compassions Are New Every Morning
“It is Jehovah’s lovingkindness that we are not consumed, for His compassions do not fail; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” (Lam. 3:22-23)
Jeremiah wrote Lamentations shortly after Jerusalem had been destroyed and the people and precious things of the temple had been carried away to Babylon.
Even in this negative situation verse 23a indicates that Jeremiah contacted the Lord as the compassionate One every morning. It was through his contact with the Lord that he received the word regarding God’s lovingkindness, compassions, and faithfulness. (Crystallization-study outlines, msg 7, III.B.4.a-b)
In this training we received much truth from Jeremiah and Lamentations. Our need now is to receive the Lord’s shining to apply these truths to our inner being that we may be reconstituted with Christ to be God’s enlargement and expression. For this, may our compassionate Lord lead us to contact Him every day to receive His living word.
North America College Training
The English-speaking summer college training is July 10 to 18, in a combination of large online presentations and small group digestion. The training will center on the burden concerning Samuel the Nazarite. The goal is to supply college students with a vision, equip them with truth, help them in their experience of life, perfect them in the preaching of the gospel, and develop their character so they can become useful vessels for the building up of the Body of Christ. More at <http://www.collegetraining.org/2020>.
Lord, gain and equip many students to be Your age-turning Nazarites!
SSOT 2020
“If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” (John 8:31b-32)
At the end of June, we concluded three weeks of the Summer School of Truth, which had three lines of fellowship, one for each of three age groups: God’s Full Salvation, The Two Spirits, and The Church. There were also daily activities and special fellowships. Please pray that our young people would continue holding to truth in love, that they may grow up into Him in all things (Eph. 4:15) and remain in what they have seen and heard. Pray also that the care and shepherding of our young people would continue through the summer.
Bibles for America – Gospel Videos
We are continuing to create new gospel videos. There is a new video called “Jesus: The Real Solution to Our Problem,” which is based on the BfA tract “Only Jesus Can Heal You.” This video illustrates how Jesus’ redeeming death is the real solution to our condition, and how He desires to live in us to be our rescue from sin. You can easily share this and other videos, and tracts and podcasts, by visiting <http://gospel.bfa.org>, scrolling down to what you want to share, and clicking on the icons to send via text message, email, or social media.

Poland
The first round of the Polish presidential election was June 28. The runoff is July 12. “The Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills” (Dan. 4:17). Lord, rule over the election in Poland for Your move in Europe!
Berlin, Germany
The mass mailing of tracts to all households in Berlin has still not been fully accomplished. Please pray to bind and loose so that the tracts will reach all the households in a timely way and that many will receive the gospel and be added to the church.
Pakistan and Bangladesh
The churches in both nations experienced spiritual blessings from their participation in global prayer.
