ITERO

The International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones (ITERO) will be Friday to Lord’s Day, March 30 to April 1. More than 1000 brothers from around the globe will participate so that the Spirit can speaking to the churches. In April ITERO messages will be respoken in other parts of the world for those who could not come to Anaheim. The burden for this time is that the Lord will make many brothers able ministers of the New Testament, effective building material for the universal building up of the Body of Christ, and good stewards and serving ones in the local churches.

“Fellowship unto the Furtherance of the Gospel” (Phil. 1:5)

In preaching the gospel, we have to learn the Body life. If we are burdened for a neighbor, we will ask some brothers to help us bring this neighbor to the Lord….We will work not just by ourselves, but we will invite the brothers to work together with us in a way of coordination. I say again, if we have the spirit of the Body life, people will sense it. If we have love among us, people around us will sense what we have, and that love and living will be a very strong factor to convince the unbelievers–our neighbors and friends–to open their spirits to the Lord. We need the Body life, and the best way to be built up together is for us to have the fellowship unto the furtherance of the gospel. (from Preaching the Gospel in the Way of Life, by Witness Lee, ch. 8; it is available online; select the book in the alphabetical list, then select the chapter in the upper right)
