ITERO

The International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones will be October 9 to 11 in Toronto. Lord’s Day, October 12, the trainees are invited to a blending meeting with the churches in Canada.

The subject is The Vision, Practice, and Building Up of the Church as the Body of Christ. May our vision become more clear, our practice become upgraded, and the building up go higher and broader.

L.A. Joint Meeting

Lord’s Day, October 19 the whole church in Los Angeles will gather at L.A. Trade Tech College at 10 a.m. (same location as in April). Maps will be distributed next weekend.

Colossians 2:19, “Holding the Head, out from whom all the Body, being richly supplied and knit together by means of the joints and sinews, grows with the growth of God.” May we come together holding Christ our Head, so that everyone may experience the rich supply, the knitting together, and the growth of God.

UCLA

Supported by the prayer of the church, the full-time team and over 30 students participated in follow-up visits to incoming students we met over the summer. Almost 100 students were personally visited this last week, with many joining into Bible studies in the dorms. At least 20 of these new contacts attended small group meetings Friday night.

Next week will be our first Bible study and on-campus college meeting. Please continue to pray that the Lord will bless these gatherings and gain more of the reality of His Body through our labor at UCLA.

Fellowship and Perfecting

Saturday, October 18 from 4 to 9 PM there will be a time of fellowship and perfecting for the Spanish-speaking saints. This will be at 1855 W Ball Rd in Anaheim. Messages will be in English with translation; there will not be child care; bring your own dinner.

India

Amana Literature was at the World Christian EXPO in India. The Lord gave us the wisdom during the EXPO to clarify some of the common questions, such as who we are, who Witness Lee was, the relationship between Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, the local church, Living Stream Ministry, and the Recovery Version of the Bible. The Lord answered the prayer of the Body and gave us the grace, the wisdom and the anointing to clarify these questions. After every speaking, many of the people there ended up buying the ministry books and the Recovery Version Bible.

There are many positive responses and testimonies from this event. We pray and believe that the interpreted word in the ministry will continue to flow out prevailingly, reaching many more thirsty and seeking believers all over India. Glory be to God!
