The Thanksgiving Conference

The Thanksgiving Conference is in Phoenix Thursday night, November 23 to Lord’s Day noon, November 26. Information is at https://churchinlosangeles.org/prayer/.

“Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving, praying at the same time for us also, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ.” (Col. 4:2-3)

Lord, release Your word through the speaking brothers and open a door in every heart for attending these meetings and for hearing this word.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.” (Col. 3:16)

Lord, cause what we hear during this conference to dwell richly in us and to overflow in speaking to others and in singing to God.

College Conference Overflow

CSUN: We had 23 saints participate (including full-timers and community saints). There were 16 students, 5 new ones among us, and 4 were gloriously baptized. The atmosphere was intimate and sweet, which was very conducive to the overflowing. Saturday afternoon a hike afforded the students an opportunity to get to know one another. The cabin times at night were bubbling over with highlights from the day’s speaking. The students also enjoyed the blending with other campuses and with speaking brothers during meal times.

UCLA: We had a glorious time being drawn to our dear Bridegroom at the conference. From UCLA, 58 saints attended with 13 coming for the first time. Eleven students entered into the divine romance by being baptized, including one from UCLA. Many were drawn personally by the Lord and are desirous of running after Him corporately (Song of Songs 1:2).

USC: We had a “romantic getaway” with our dear Lord Jesus. Eighteen students from the downtown area made it to Oak Glen in addition to a number of serving community saints. Everyone who signed up to go on the conference made it and there were two last minute additions. Some of our students said that this was the best conference they had ever been to.

PRAYER: May the Lord continue to draw each one of us so that we all run after Him! Please pray for the burden of touching both the logos and rhema word. Also, pray that the students would develop their personal and romantic relationship with the Lord, earnestly expect the Lord’s coming, and ask the sinners to come and drink the water of life!

“The word of God grew and multiplied.” “The word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.” (Acts 12:24; 19:20) Lord, do this in Germany NOW!

Germany (2)

German national elections were September 24. Six parties won seats in the national parliament. The attempt to form a majority coalition in parliament collapsed. Lord, use this uncertainty to further Your move in Germany!
