FELLOWSHIP CONCERNING THE LORD’S MOVE IN HIS RECOVERY
In the Lord’s recovery there is only one work—the work of the one New Testament ministry, which is based on the teaching of the apostles. This one work is carried out by the one Body of Christ through the intimate fellowship and coordination of the churches, the ministry, and the work. As the ministry of the age has reached the Lord’s children in diverse places through the work in the Lord’s recovery, a consistent pattern has emerged. If we consider the effect of the mass distribution of literature in the former Soviet Union and the radio broadcasts in London and Mexico City, it is clear that the advance of the ministry into new areas creates an immediate response among the seeking ones. This in turn results in a growing need for co-workers to harvest the Lord’s loving seekers into His recovery. Without the faithful laborers to coordinate with the spread of the ministry through various means, our work cannot continue.
In 1991, as the doors into the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe opened, the Lord burdened Brother Lee to establish the Lord’s Move to Europe (LME) to facilitate the practical support and care for the co-workers who migrated for the Lord’s unprecedented move in that part of the earth. Since that time, under LME’s oversight there have been four major migrations of co-workers, to the former Soviet Union (1991), to Eastern Europe and Israel (2000), to London (2001), and to Mexico City (2002). At present there are more than 300 co-workers laboring in 34 countries in five regions. Under the Lord’s abundant blessing, the labor of the workers in coordination with the Living Stream ministry has resulted in approximately 180 local churches and thousands of saints being raised up. A summary of this work and its fruit is shown in the following table.
| REGION | COUNTRIES | WORKERS | CHURCHES | SAINTS |
| former USSR | 11 | 159 | 146 | 3600 |
| Eastern Europe | 6 | 82 | 28 | 500 |
| Middle East | 2 | 22 | 1 | 10 |
| Western Europe | 14 | 45 | 22* | 700 |
| Mexico | 1 | 20 | 50* | 4000 |
*Most of these churches existed before the migrations, but the number of saints has increased significantly.
