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, […]

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 Experience Growing up in the Church Life with Spiritual Fathers and Mothers
My dear brothers and sisters, I would like to share some of my experience growing up in the church life. “For though you have ten thousand guides in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers.” (1 Cor. 4:15a) This verse means so much to me because in 2015 I lost one of my spiritual fathers. […]
Thoughts on the Fellowship Between the Generations
Hebrews 13:7 says, “Remember the ones leading you, who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their manner of life, imitate their faith.” In the recent July training on Numbers, we learned that the army which the Lord used to take the good land of Canaan was composed primarily […]
We love our Enemies, Pray for those who Persecute, and Not Revile in Return
Recently, there are several verses that have been resonating within me. The first is Ephesians 6:12 which says, “For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies.” This verse is helpful because it […]
