Being Open, Fresh, Living, and Young with the Lord

“Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your warfare, in the splendor of their consecration. Your young men will be to You like the dew from the womb of the dawn… He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore He will lift up His head.” (Psalm 110:3, 7)

In the eyes of the Lord our willing consecration, our offering ourselves to Him, is a matter of splendor. We need to rise up early in the morning to contact the Lord so that we may enter into the womb of the dawn to be conceived as the dew for Christ’s watering. Pray for all the saints to keep themselves empty, open, fresh, living, and young with the Lord for His new move.

Continuing in the Grace of God

“Furthermore we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God which has been given in the churches…” (2 Cor. 8:1)

We thank the Lord for making known to us, in the midst of the outward environment, the grace of God which has been given in the church in Los Angeles, as shown by the increase in offerings compared to 2019. Now we pray for further grace to have a new, fresh, living beginning as we gradually return to meeting in person, both in homes and halls.

Caring for Our Next Generation

Continue to pray for the church’s greatest asset—our next generation, particularly our children, sixth graders, junior high and high school young people. Pray for the care and shepherding they need to know the Lord, grow in the divine life, and offer themselves willingly, like dew, to refresh the Lord for His encouragement, and for the church in Los Angeles to have a bright future.

International Memorial Day Blending Conference

The 2021 International Memorial Day Blending Conference will be held online. The general subject is “Knowing the Truth, Being Absolute for the Truth, and Proclaiming the Truth in the Present Evil Age.” The church in LA will stream the messages in corporate Zoom meetings according to language, including prophesying sessions after each message. Arrangements will be communicated by hall or district. Messages will start promptly at its scheduled time, so saints are encouraged to log in early.

The meeting schedule is as follows:

Meeting 1: Friday, May 28, 7:00 pm
Meeting 2: Saturday, May 29, 10:00 am
Meeting 3: Saturday, May 29, 7:00 pm
Meeting 4: Lord’s Day, May 30, 10:00 am
Meeting 5: Lord’s Day, May 30, 7:00 pm
Meeting 6: Monday, May 31, 10:00 am

We are looking to the Lord and expecting Him to use this pandemic to do something extraordinary among us during this time. We are praying that He will help us to open this channel for the release of His Word through this ministry. To that end, we hope that all the churches and all the saints will prepare for this upcoming time of ministry and sanctify these days for the hearing of faith among us everywhere. Please pray for His blessing upon this conference. May it turn out to be a real memorial among us to the shame of God’s enemy and to the glory of God’s grace!

FTTA

“Thus says the Lord Jehovah, moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock” (Ezek. 36:37). The footnote on inquired says, “The Lord promised to increase our number with men like a flock, but we need to pray for this and ask Him to do it.”

May we hold the Lord to His promise of increasing our number with men like a flock through our prayer and asking Him for 120 FTTA trainees and 20 FTTA-XB trainees for Fall 2021!

Bibles for Europe

Currently, 250,000 copies of the NT Recovery Version are being printed in English, French, German, Polish, and Spanish for distribution in Europe. Please pray for the spreading of the translated, interpreted, and understood divine truths in Europe for the Lord’s recovery and restoration.

Please continue to pray:

  1. For the rising up of the spirit of and burden for the gospel among the saints in the churches for the spreading of the gospel of the kingdom to friends, relatives and neighbors;
