Prayer
Andrew Murray has said that the best prayer is one which is prayed by the Christ who dwells within us to the Christ who sits on the throne in heaven. (from Concerning the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, WL).
Report from “Life-Study Live” in Hall 1
This past Saturday more than 100 people including about 40 new guests braved the rain to attend the Spanish-speaking seminar on the Life-study of the Bible at hall 1. The coordination was smooth and sweet, the atmosphere was warm, and the singing was released from the start. The Lord anointed the word and 35 guests turned in cards indicating their interest in further fellowship. Thank you for your prayers! Please continue to pray for these 35 and the follow up with them one by one. May the Lord grace the saints in their shepherding of them right away and gain many as remaining fruit!
A 35 second video of singing is at http://youtu.be/KpUwdlbil98. The entire seminar is at https://app.box.com/s/gkrtkyi3wsofnemmytiv. Two photos are shown at the bottom of this page.
FTTA Gospel Trips in U.S. – Summary Report
The recent gospel trips to 19 cities concluded in February. In two weeks, visiting teams and local saints distributed over 6,500 free copies of the NT Recovery Version and ministry books by WN and WL. They passed out over 17,000 gospel tracts and BfA brochures and met nearly 2,000 people interested in further contact. They carried out seminars, follow-up appointments, and home visitations to shepherd the many open people they met. The labor in caring for these people will continue in the coming months.
South Africa
Dick Taylor said that the national conference last weekend was the best ever. Attendance was near 350, including 40 new people. Meetings were full of the Lord’s presence and joy, and the saints’ response was very good. The Lord’s table was very released.
Dick Taylor remains in South Africa the first half of this week for more shepherding. Michael Stewart arrived last week and is now in his first of two weeks teaching the class, The Spirit, at FTT Pretoria. Ask the Lord to supply Dick and to release more vision and experience of the Spirit to Michael, to the trainees, and to all who are associated with or visiting the training.
London
Beginning March 5, the FTT London trainees and serving ones will be sent out on Wednesdays to blend in 14 of the saints’ homes in East London. This was the area of the Olympics with thousands of open Bible recipients. There are 9,000 open contacts living in the immediate area around the 14 homes of the saints. The burden is that we would get into the saints’ homes, spend time with them, be blent with them, and then mutually enter into the labor to contact these open ones.
Kiev, Ukraine
Thus far, despite the political protests and the violence that have taken place mainly in Kiev, all the saints are safe. We are having a good coordination among all the churches to consider what to do in a worst case scenario. The construction of the hall in Kiev is continuing, as it is located in a section of the city away from the violence. However, the conflict has made driving around Kiev very difficult. We expected to begin the construction of the roof soon. Whether or not we can continue remains to be seen.
We pray that the Lord’s recovery would become prevailing in Ukraine, that the Lord would gain the proper and useful men for His testimony, and that all things would work for the building up of His Body. We would ask you to join us in praying for the present situation in Ukraine.
