2024 December Semiannual Training
The December Semiannual Training is being held this week in Anaheim from December 23 to 28. The general subject is “Experiencing, Enjoying, and Expressing Christ (2).” In addition to the saints attending in person in Anaheim, many saints all over the earth will participate by video.
Please pray for the release of the Lord’s up-to-date speaking to His whole Body and for the advance of the Lord’s move on the whole earth through the operation of His word for the building up of His Body and the preparation of His bride.
FTTA
Last weekend, trainees graduated from the FTTA. Please continue to pray for all these ones to follow the Lamb wherever He may go. Pray also for many college graduates and young working saints to answer God’s call to go to the FTTA next term. A video of the graduation meeting is available at ftta.org.
Santa Barbara
Please pray for the Lord encourage and lead younger couples and families to move to Santa Barbara/Goleta to strengthen the church and shepherd the students.
Bibles for America
The past year has been full of challenges and upheaval. The world situation continues to be volatile, and people everywhere are full of anxiety. Bibles for America has also faced difficulties, including shipping delays, increasing costs, and changes to marketing platforms. Despite everything, we praise God that we have His Word as a sure foundation on which to stand.
In 2024, we began exploring different ways of reaching people with God’s Word, such as social media and audio streaming advertising. We’re also happy to share that the video studio has been completed, enabling us to produce more videos on the truth and the Christian experience. Please continue to stand with us in prayer as we seek the Lord’s blessing on this labor.
French-speaking Europe
Beseech the Lord to supply all the saints who live in French-speaking Europe, and all who are there on “shepherding trips” for weeks or months, to labor diligent in ministering Christ to the seeking contacts so that these ones may grow in truth and life and be added to the church. Also beseech the Lord to thrust out more workers into this harvest and to release the long-term visas.

Madrid House Purchase
Pray that the Lord will release the funds to complete the purchase of the house next to the meeting hall in Madrid, Spain to greatly expand the usefulness of the church’s property to the church there and the Lord’s move in the Iberian Peninsula. Specifically, pray that the remaining 16,900 Euros would be provided by January 6, 2025. The final installment will be due in March.
A detailed letter can be downloaded at lme.org/reports.html. As the Lord leads, saints in LA may participate in giving through the Church in Los Angeles designated for “Madrid House.”
The Lord’s Move in Europe
Please pray for the migration of burdened saints to strengthen the Lord’s testimony in nine critical European cities in 2025—Paris, Geneva, Brussels, Belfast, Dublin, Vienna, Prague, Rome, and Athens.
