We had a really sweet Lord’s table with the saints in Toronto. We shared our experiences and enjoyment in the training followed up by fellowship regarding the radio program in London. The saints were really touched by the Lord’s move in Europe and have the feeling that the GTCA in Mississauga is for North America, that North America is for Europe, and that Europe is for Israel, ultimately for the New Jerusalem and the Lord’s return! The Lord’s table was concluded by some fellowship, which encouraged the saints to get a continual supply from the Lord, perfection from the Body, ultimately for the goal of fruit bearing and the building up of the Body of Christ.

After the rest in Toronto, we moved to Mississauga and had a love feast with the saints in Mississauga and surrounding localities. We went through the schedule for the two weeks in Mississauga and a brief introduction of the saints we would be coordinating and fellowshipping with these next 2 weeks. We had a love feast in Toronto for lunch and the saints were on fire and really exercised. We were really encouraged to see how happy they were that we were here.

For dinner in Mississauga we met the saints there. We experienced how the saints truly pour out everything they have for us. We just feel the Lord is really blessing our team by adding so much more supply through the Body. We have seven part/full time local volunteers who will join us. One of the brothers even took two weeks off just working with us, and also a brother took a week break from Dallas, TX to labor and blend with us.

Prayer burdens:

• For the Bible distribution and spread of the gospel to the seeking ones in Mississauga.
• For the Lord to warm the hearts and restore the first love of some of the saints carried away in the turmoil.

We arrived in Virginia Beach yesterday and had a young people’s meeting that night. Everyone was released, flowing, and overflowing with life! We read a portion about not being ashamed of the gospel, which was followed by many saints sharing their experiences of speaking about this wonderful Person!

The Lord’s Table meeting had about 60-70 saints, with ones visiting from Charlottesville, Richmond, Norfolk, North Carolina, and even Tennessee. We were so full of praise that the Lord resurrected with a Body. Not only is Christ the Head on the throne, but the Body is joined to our ascended Head, so the one new man is also on the throne!

Prayer burdens:

• Our Bible distribution at Old Dominion University on Monday.
• Our thorough blending with the local saints through our times in their homes.

Hallelujah! Thank you for your prayers. All eight trainees arrived safely in Fargo and we went directly to a home meeting at the house of a contact the saints met who is completely blind due to a car accident five years ago but wanted to have all the saints over in his. Although he mainly only has one on one shepherding appointments, he described his time with the saints and the last five years since his accident as the best years of his life. We enjoyed together that the reality of the tree of life is in our spirit! A local brother is burdened for his wife to enter into the church life. She is still currently meeting with a denomination yet was at the meeting tonight. She was open to talking with us all. There were about 30 of us who gathered together to sing and fellowship.

This morning we drove around 1.5 hours out of Fargo to Rodgers, North Dakota (population of 48) for the table meeting at a sister’s cattle ranch. I believe it was the first time the meeting had a second row. Seeing all the saints in the sister’s home brought tears to her eyes as she said, “It’s actually happening,” after 20+ years of praying. All 24 of us enjoyed that we are in the process of being designated sons of God!

Tonight we will be preparing the material for the gospel tables that will begin on Tuesday. We will be mainly at three campuses, North Dakota State University in Fargo, Minnesota State University in Moorehead, MN and University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND.

Prayer burdens:

• That the brother who opened his home would see a vision of the church.
• That the sister’s husband and son who lives in Rodgers would be saved!
• That the local brother’s wife’s heart would be softened and that she would enter fully into the church life.
• For the Lord to release the hungry seekers at NDSU, MSUM and UND!

During our first evening in Birmingham, we joined the saints in a home meeting. The saints here regularly gather together in each others’ homes four times a week! Our team has enjoyed blending with the saints and entering into the labor of the saints in Birmingham. We’re getting a taste of the house-to-house church life in Acts. In the past three days we’ve already been in the homes of seven families! Several ones who are new to the church life in Birmingham are opening their homes for the first time.

Yesterday afternoon, a group of us joined an appointment to meet a sister who touched the ministry through the radio broadcast of the life-study messages. She is part of a non-affiliated group that listens to the life-study messages five times a week! She contacted LSM and was connected with the saints here. She loves the ministry and loves how it brings her to the Word and how its focus is Christ and the Church. Pray that she would be vitalized with the saints and enter into the daily church life!

In the evening, we met in three different homes. In each home, there was at least one new one. One of our highlights during this time was a sister who touched the church life this past summer and is burning in spirit, enjoying Christ! She invited us to her daughter’s birthday party, which included many of her relatives and friends, with the intention to share Christ with them all. We had a wonderful time of singing and fellowship. This was the first time she opened her home and the first time her husband met the saints. They are opening their home again this friday. Pray that the Lord would fully gain this household!

Prayer burdens:

• Many ones the saints have been laboring on are opening their homes for the first time this week. Pray that these ones enjoy the fellowship and continue opening their homes to the saints!
• Pray that we would establish contact with a few more families in the community.

We passed out gospel and BfA tracts in the sports park this afternoon. We met two young people. The boy and the girl attend a middle school in Temecula and are classmates. We shared with them John 3:6 and led them to know that man needs to be reborn of the Spirit, and the easiest way is to call upon the name of the Lord from the deepest part of our being. They were so open and called upon His name with us four to five times loudly. After calling with us they felt so happy and refreshed. We invited them to the Saturday gospel meeting this week. We need much prayers for these two and their families. Pray for their household salvation and their attendance at the gospel meeting.

There were five high schoolers practicing for a school performance at the park, four girls and one boy. When we approached them we didn’t know how to talk to them, but we had the burden for them and we did not want to lose these five fishes. So we felt that the Spirit’s leading was just to simply spend time with them in a human way, to get into their situation before talking to them. We did nothing but prayed for them in our spirit while we were watching their performance. We would applaud after every performance. After spending time with them for around 20 minutes, they felt comfortable with us, welcomed us, and opened to us. Finally, we got the chance to share the gospel with them during their break time. Praise the Lord! He was working! All five of them called on the name of the Lord with us six times. After the first three times that we called together we asked them to call from their deepest part if they really wanted to know the Lord. Then we called three more times loudly.

Prayer Burdens:

• Pray that these six young people and their families will be open to come to the gospel meeting on Saturday. Because we plant, we water, but God is the One who causes His plants to grow. May the Lord gain them.
• Pray for remaining fruit for the church in Temecula.
