“If man does not pray, God will not work; if no one prays, God has no work to do. At any given time God must find some people or a person to co-work with Him to pray for what He intends to do. If no one prays, God does not have a co-worker, and He cannot work.” (Witness Lee, The Meaning and Purpose of Prayer, p. 30)
Boston Training Facility
The Boston extension of FTTA is currently using the church in Cambridge meeting hall. Renovation of the property in Boston is in progress. The goal is to finish the work and get all city approvals by July so that the fall term of training can begin there in August.
The financial need for completion of the training facility is being presented to the churches in North America. Please ask the Lord to draw everyone to give themselves first to Him (2 Cor. 8:5), to partake of grace (v. 1, 6, 7), and to realize the joy of the Lord in giving (v. 2).
UCLA (Hall 5)
There are two spring break trips this week for the UCLA students. One group of 28 is in Texas and another group of 27 is in Puerto Rico. May the Lord gain the fresh consecration in all the students through the blending with the saints in those localities. Also pray that the eyes of the heart of all the students, especially the new ones, be enlightened to see the goal of His salvation which is to build up the Body of Christ. Ask the Lord for every student to freshly enjoy and experience the Lord and be filled with the Spirit. May the Lord be the protection, provision, and pleasure to all the saints in these trips.
