We would like to share a particular burden with you related to the Full-time Training in Anaheim (FTTA).
FTTA was established in 1989 by Brother Lee to build up the trainees in Christ in the growth of the divine life, equip them with the divine truths, and cultivate their spiritual capacity in preaching the gospel, nourishing the believers, perfecting the saints, and prophesying for the building up of the Body of Christ. Since that time, over five thousand saints have attended FTTA, which has greatly enriched the churches and strengthened the Lord’s testimony.
As more and more young people give themselves to be trained, some of them have had difficulty either supporting themselves or obtaining support from their sending localities. In addition, the operating costs of the training continue to increase year after year. These expenses are often not entirely covered by the tuition which has been kept low for the aforementioned reason.
Therefore, in close fellowship with FTTA and the co-workers, a group of trainee graduates have formed an entity called the “FTTA Support Fund,” the purpose of which is to make these needs known and provide a mechanism for burdened saints to give. It is not meant to diminish any giving to the churches or other areas of the work, nor is it in any way intended to replace the current practice of fellowship among the churches in supporting trainees. It is simply a channel to help cover the increasing costs of the training and provide a means for those who might otherwise lack adequate funding to attend.
As working saints who are learning to bear the burden for the Lord’s recovery, we are thankful for the training and want to see it continue in a strong way for the Lord’s interests on the earth today. May the Lord continue to bless His recovery through the training. For more information, please visit www.fttasupportfund.org.
