Testimony of the Lord’s Love, Grace, and Mercy
I did not grow up in the local churches, but was saved in 2016. I really thank the Lord for His abounding mercy that reached me and His preserving grace that sustains me. God is full love and full of mercy that captures me every day. As I love the Lord Jesus, He reveals to […]
My Sweet Experience of Growing up in the Church Life
One verse that I have really been appreciating is Matthew 20:16 – “Thus shall the last be first and the first last.” I grew up in the church in Chicago to a biracial couple: my mother is Chinese and came from the church in Manila, Philippines, and my dad was saved on the campus in […]
The heart of our spiritual fathers toward us and how they have served us
In the summer of 2015, I had a particular experience that left a lasting impression on me. That summer, there was a National College Training in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. The speaking brother had just given a message on consecration, and hundreds of college students had lined up to consecrate themselves to the Lord. At the very […]
Appreciation of the leading brothers’ faithful speaking, with supporting verses
A major factor which helped usher me into the church life years ago was the faithful speaking of the leading brothers in the Lord’s recovery, speaking which wasn’t tempered by current philosophies or by what was politically in vogue. Reflecting on the recent speaking in the training on Numbers gives me a fresh appreciation of […]
Following the Star out of Jacob led me to the Lord and the Church Life
The crystallization-study of Numbers unveiled more of God’s heart to me. As the Star out of Jacob, Christ appears to those who seek Him and lead them to the house where He is. This was my experience a few years ago. I was wandering in the sadness of darkness when Christ shone on me. I […]
A Testimony: Enjoying Crystallization Studies I and II of the Book of Numbers to Work out the Kingdom of God on Earth Today
Recording God’s move through the nation of Israel’s journeying and fighting to possess the good land, the book of Numbers presents a vivid type of our Lord Jesus Christ’s present move through His Body’s preaching, prophesying, and being disciplined to realize His kingdom on earth today (Matt. 28:19). Awaiting our Lord Jesus Christ’s second coming, […]
Henna Cornell: I am grateful for my experiences in the wonderful church life
I would like to join a number of my brothers and sisters to testify of my positive experience in the church life. Given this opportunity to consider my experience, my heart is full of thanksgiving for the care and shepherding I’ve received. I’d like to testify particularly of some sisters who have been positive patterns […]
My church life experience: how I was shepherded by the brothers and sisters
I was born and raised in the church life by parents who really love the Lord and enjoy having brothers and sisters in their home. I have lived in 9 localities (cities with local churches) in 4 countries. I attended children’s meetings, young people’s meetings, and university student meetings. For those 22 years I was […]
My Coming into the Church Life, studying at the FTTA, and Serving with the Students
I grew up in a denomination that was not clear on the truth. They believed that you could lose your salvation. They also believed that you had to meet with them, be baptized by them, and follow all their requirements in order to be saved at the end of your life. But by God’s mercy […]
My testimony regarding brother Witness Lee and the local churches
Greetings. My name is Sterling Byassee. I would like to give my personal testimony regarding knowing brother Witness Lee and his teachings, and the church life that we practice in the local churches throughout the earth. When I attended my first meeting with the church in Los Angeles, California, I heard brother Witness Lee ministering […]
