Winter Training

The winter training begins Monday, December 22. Ask the Lord to work in all who come so that they come poor in spirit, ready to receive something fresh from the Lord.

"To be poor in spirit is not only to be humble but also to be emptied in our spirit, in the depth of our being, not holding on to the old things of the old dispensation [nor holding on to what we have heard and know in the recovery] but unloaded to receive the new things, the things of the kingdom of the heavens." (Matthew 5:3, note 2)

Gospel in Thousand Oaks

The church in Thousand Oaks had a gospel forum, dinner, and gospel preaching Saturday night. Sixteen new people attended; during the time all prayed. Six of the new people are high school students from a boarding school; they were brought by a dean of the school. We did not push baptism but one sister, who is a neighbor of saints and who has been in some home meetings, wanted to get baptized. After her one high school student got baptized.

Please pray for continued contact and care of all 16. Pray also for the high school to remain open to us.

FTTA

We have 43 graduates this term. Please pray that each one would follow the Lord in this critical time. Among these graduates 14 are international trainees who need to leave the country; please pray that the Lord would guide their next step and that they would be at peace in their hearts.

Please pray for the FTTA serving ones in this busy time at the end of the term. Thank you.

Reflect the Heavenly Ministry of Christ

"If therefore you were raised together with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things which are above, not on the things which are on the earth." (Col. 3:1-2)

As the divine High Priest, the ascended Christ is interceding for us (Heb. 7:25), and we need to respond to His intercession. We need to become on earth the reflection of Christ's intercession in His heavenly ministry, praying the prayers of the interceding Christ. When we seek the things which are above, we respond to Christ's heavenly ministry and reflect it. (from Thanksgiving conference, msg 5, III.)

Gospel in Thousand Oaks

The church in Thousand Oaks has taken action for the furtherance of the Chinese-speaking gospel. At the end of summer we began an eight-week training based on "Fellowship Concerning the Urgent Need of the Vital Groups." In early October, we began our 10-week countdown in groups to pray for the coming gospel and to contact gospel friends in preparation for our December 13 gospel time. We established groups for the practical services at the gospel meeting and for those who will testify and speak the word. There are also twos and threes praying for the gospel on the daily basis.

May the Lord bless us with many remaining fruits.

Southern California Gospel

This Saturday at 4 pm at the Church in Arcadia meeting hall (630 E Live Oak Ave, Arcadia) there will be a Chinese-speaking gospel truth forum for the Chinese-speaking saints and gospel friends in Southern California, dinner is provided. After that we will have a gospel meeting, concluding at 8.30pm.

Middle-Age Training

Thirty-four trainees will graduate on Saturday. May each one be supplied to follow the Lamb wherever He may go (Rev. 14:4). May they also be supplied to continue their daily living according to the life practices that have been imparted in the training.

Give Thanks

Thank the Lord that Building 7 (to be used by FTTA) received the occupancy permit from the city of Anaheim last week. Ask the Lord to richly supply all who will be involved in moving things from the MCC into building 7 and in other preparations for the winter training.

Bibles for America

The BfA distribution tour of the US Southeast concluded Lord's Day, November 23. During these three weeks, the saints gave away nearly 1,200 Bibles and many ministry books to students on college campuses as well as to police officers, mechanics, waiters, and hotel staff. Everywhere the teams visited, they were encouraged by the openness and warmth of the people they met and the sweet blending and coordination with the local saints.

Praise the Lord for another opportunity to reach people face-to-face with the precious gift of the Word and the ministry. Please pray for the many people contacted during this tour, that they would open the books they received and that the Lord would enlighten the eyes of their heart that they may see what the economy of the mystery is!

The Vision and Experience of Christ

We need a clear vision that the content of God’s New Testament economy is a Person who is both divine and human, a Person who is both God and man, who has passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and has consummated in the all-inclusive, processed, compound, life-giving, and indwelling Spirit imparted into us in His resurrection as life to us, and poured out upon us in His ascension as power to us that we may live the divine life to express God and move with the divine power, economically, to carry out God’s economy. (WL, God's New Testament Economy, ch. 9; read during the opening word of Thanksgiving Conference message 1)

Lord, grant us all a new and fresh vision of Yourself as the reality of resurrection and ascension. And bring us into the practical and subjective experience of what we see. Lord, we want to live the divine life and move with divine power.

Our Response to the Vision and Experience of Christ

Let us open to the Lord and pray to overcome all spiritual passivity and to fully recover the exercise of our spirit in order that the Lord may work what is needed in us to live in ascension as His garden and to be His corporate warrior to fight with and in Him. (based on the concluding word of Thanksgiving Conference message 6)

London

Bower House is a large property in London used for conferences, FTT London, church meetings, book sales, packing and mailing books, and is a fellowship center for Lord’s Move in Europe. A redevelopment of Bower House is desired in order to expand its usefulness. The final planning permission application will be submitted soon. Please pray that:

The Lord will give the brothers clear direction in deciding how best to present the plans to the
local planning authority
The planning authority will look upon our application with favor and will respond positively.

Ukraine

There were 60 churches in Ukraine at the beginning of the year. Five churches have been affected by the fighting that began early this year. No saints have been injured but 39 have been forced to flee their homes and are staying with saints in other cities. Please pray:

That the heavens would rule, the Lord would be glorified and Satan would be put to shame;
That even in the present divisive political situation the new man would be brought forth and the Body would be built up;
For the Lord’s continued blessing on all the churches and all the saints in the Russian speaking world for the Lord’s interest and testimony;
For all the saints who have been affected by the fighting, that their hearts would be comforted and that they would continue to experience the Lord as their all sufficient supply in the Body.

Kiev (the capital and largest city) has been quiet since demonstrations in March. A number of brothers are working on construction of the meeting hall. The exterior siding is finished and all the windows have been installed; interior work continues. Please pray:

For the brothers working on the hall to be continually supplied and preserved in the one accord;
For our continued good relationship with all of our contractors;
For the Lord’s covering and blessing on our relationships with our neighbors especially with those who live in close proximity to the hall;
For the completion of the hall and the timely preparation of all the occupancy documents;
That every aspect of the construction and use of this hall would be used by the Lord for the building up of His Body in the Russian speaking world.

Pray also that His word would operate in us to bring forth much experience of Christ in His resurrection and ascension.

Bible Distribution in Los Angeles

Last Saturday the Spanish-speaking saints in hall 1 were at the Mercado Del Pueblo. We had a very blessed time doing the Bible distribution. We gave out 40 Bibles and some other literature; 38 of the 40 recipients left their information for a follow up. Lord Jesus, thank you for the blessings during this time. We give you all these people that took their Bible. We ask you to open their eyes so they can see more when they open their Bible. Grant us to have the proper care for all the seeking ones.

Bibles for America

During the first two weeks of BfA's tour in the Southeast, we were at college campuses in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida, to distribute free Bibles and Christian books. We gave away over 650 copies of the New Testament Recovery Version and at least as many copies of Basic Elements of the Christian Life, The Economy of God, The Normal Christian Life, and other books from our free Christian Books Collection.

The distribution teams have been encouraged by people's warm reception and by their uplifting conversations with students, university personnel, and others who stop by the tables.

In Walthamstow 32 new ones attended the second seminar, 14 for second time.

International Thanksgiving Conference

Please pray for the spiritual and practical preparations for this conference. Pray for the brothers preparing the messages, that “utterance may be given to them in the opening of their mouth, to make known in boldness the mystery of the gospel” (Eph. 6:19). Pray for all the listeners, that our hearts will be open to have a fresh word implanted in us for further growth unto maturity.

Raising up our Next Generation in the Church Life

This past Saturday, November 15, there was a joint young people's meeting for all the districts in Los Angeles as well as Santa Monica and Inglewood. A total of 90 saints were there including young people, college students, serving ones, and parents. The topic was on the life of Joseph and following his pattern of seeing a heavenly vision and allowing that vision to affect our daily lives - so that the Lord, through us, could be the Savior and Sustainer of life to those around us at our schools. The young people testified afterwards from their conferences which touched the matter of having a proper humanity (the junior high conferences) and Joseph (the high school conferences).

Please pray that our young people would come to increasingly know and love the Lord Jesus as the one with the proper humanity for the church life, and as the real Joseph who supplies life to both God's people and to the people in the world.

The Lord would gain the real victory and every student would experience the blessings and freedom of the reality of the jubilee.

Unto Sonship

"Chose us…to be holy…unto sonship" (Eph. 1:4-5). The divine sonship is accomplished by our being mingled with God (the Holy One as the Holy Spirit) unto full sanctification. Lord, grant us to be continually mingled with you. Sanctify us wholly.

Report from College Conference

The first college conference was this weekend, Nov. 7-9 in Big Bear. Thank you saints for all of your prayers! We had one of the highest numbers of students that we've ever had at this fall conference. 477 in all, including 318 students, checked in. This includes 55 from the USC area. 13 were baptized at the conference, including 1 USC student. The Lord's anointing was truly with the speaking, showing how each of us (even though we have become numb to it) are under great oppression from sin and Satan. How much we need the Lord Jesus to be our jubilee, our freedom, in our daily life! Furthermore, in the jubilee not only are we returned to our possession (God), we return to our family (the church) and become proclaimers of this good news.

Please pray that the students would continue to live in the jubilee and proclaim the jubilee this week in their daily lives. Furthermore, pray that they would enjoy their real family, the church!

The Intrinsic Practice of the Church Life

The church life is the all-inclusive Christ with His unsearchable riches realized, experienced, and expressed by all the saints in a corporate way.

The Heading Up of All Things

God's economy of the fullness of the times is to head up all things in Christ. Today the entire creation is groaning in vanity and the slavery of corruption (Rom. 8:20-22). For creation to be released, we, the Body of Christ, need to be the first to be headed up by Christ. We participate in this heading up by receiving Christ’s transmission to the church, by loving Him with the first love, by growing in life, and by living in the light.

Junior High Conferences

The junior high conferences are October 24 to 26, brothers in Diamond Bar, sisters in Riverside. Please pray that the Lord prepare the hearts of the young people for this special time.

Those who attended the recent ITERO in Toronto testify that the atmosphere is fresh and that the Lord has a way to move in this country. Lord, may Your word of the truth of the gospel continue bearing fruit and growing in Canada! (Col. 1:5-6)

Europe

October 21 to 23 approximately 150 brothers from the churches in Europe will gather in Baarlo, Netherlands, to review the messages given during the fall 2014 ITERO in Toronto, Canada. October 24 to 26 the fall international conference will be held in Baarlo for all the saints in Europe.

Please pray:

That the burden of the Lord's speaking at the ITERO will be received by the brothers in Europe without hindrance, and that this burden will be carried out in the churches for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the age for the Lord’s return.
For the blending of all the saints in Europe in the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the building up of the Body and the realization of the one new man in Europe.

India

October 19-26 a group of young adult brothers from different localities in India will go to Taiwan. The burden of this trip is that the brothers may be blended in the fellowship of the Body and to learn from the experience of different churches in shepherding and perfecting, so that they may shepherd the saints and be built up in their respective localities with an intrinsic view of the Body of Christ.

LA 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. May the Lord really use this time to blend us together for the sake of the impact of His testimony in Los Angeles.

Rome

There are currently 15 to 18 saints meeting on the Lord's Day. We have gained as many as seven young people from the Rome campuses; however, most of these have migrated to other localities for graduate studies, and one is planning to attend the full-time training. Two Romanian families have begun to come to the meetings, but we are especially burdened to gain more Italian families. We have many contacts in the communities with whom we have built relationships. While we will continue to go to the campus once a week for Bible distribution, we feel to focus on building up four home meetings and inviting local contacts. We are preparing an invitation to study the Bible, which we will give to those living in our respective apartment buildings. For this we desperately need the prayer of the Body, so please pray that families from our local communities will be added to these four home meetings. Please also pray that more young people from the campuses will be added to the church in Rome.

In the past two years Rhema has gone from zero to 6,887 requests, 2,924 names, and 4,052 order fulfillments, all from people living in Italy. We look to the Lord that many of these could be added to the churches in Italy.

Bulgaria and the Balkan countries

Approximately 120 adults registered for the conference in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 3-5 October, of which 75 were from Bulgaria, 10 from Serbia, 10 from Romania, 4 from Greece, and some from Germany, UK, and US. The saints from Serbia are from a new group that has been reading the ministry and found the conference via a Google search. Please pray:

For the upcoming visit of serving saints to Croatia and Serbia for shepherding the new ones.
That the Lord will raise up churches in Bulgaria and in Croatia, Serbia, and the other countries in the Balkan region of Europe.
