Abundant Blessings, Multiplying Assembly Halls
Assembly Hall 103 was established on December 10, 2023. It was multiplied out of three assembly halls, all by God’s rich and abundant grace. Life-study of Genesis, message 71, says, “We must see that every blessing, whether spiritual or material, comes to us by the Lord’s sovereignty.”
In 2008, Assembly Hall Three multiplied out 39 assembly halls. Then in 2015, the number of saints reached 311. The brothers prayed and sought, and they had the burden to increase the assembly halls by first multiplying out a large group. In 2016, the number of saints reached 340, and they multiplied out 62 assembly halls. God’s blessing is limitless; He pours it into our bosom, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. As large as our vessel is, the Lord adds that much more. In 2017, the number of saints in Assembly Hall Three greatly increased by 20 percent, reaching 300 again.
This was truly a vision the Lord gave to the brothers. When the number of saints in Assembly Hall Three reached 300, the Lord was reminding us: It is time to multiply! So in 2018, they multiplied out Assembly Hall 71. In 2020, Assembly Hall 62 also multiplied out Assembly Hall 82. In 2022, the number of saints in Assembly Hall Three reached 301 again. Although it was during the pandemic, the brothers continued to pray and seek the burden to multiply, to multiply out Assembly Hall 103.
For this goal, each district formed a core serving group. Every Saturday before the gospel friends or the saints on the list who do not meet regularly that they were going to visit on Saturday, they would pray and make definite invitations, and then they would go together to visit them. Every time they came back from visiting, everyone was very joyful, feeling that God was with them and that they were filled with hope.
Starting in September of last year, 2023, the saints actively coordinated with the gospel season. Every week there was a love feast and a Bible lecture. Starting in October, they also invited the ten assembly halls in the Da-an District to take turns going out to spread the gospel or visit the saints every Saturday afternoon. Every Lord’s Day evening there was a gospel meeting, with the theme “The Needs of Nine Kinds of People” from the Gospel of John. The assembly halls in the Da-an District coordinated to give testimonies and messages. Everyone was of one accord, testifying that the gospel had become a part of our life.
Romans 15:6: “That with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Later, the trainees of the Youth Class Outreach Team fought together with us to go forward, spreading the gospel, teaching the truth, and making all the nations the Lord’s disciples.

丰厚祝福,繁增会所
一○三会所于二○二三年十二月十日成立,由三会所繁增而出,全是神的怜悯丰厚的赐恩。创世记生命读经七十一篇说,『我们必须看见,每一个祝福,无论是属灵的或物质的,都是借着神的主宰而来的』。
三会所于二○○八年繁增出三十九会所,之后于二○一五年人数达到三百一十一位,弟兄们祷告寻求,有了增会所的负担,先繁增一个大区。二○一六年人数达到三百四十位,再繁增出六十二会所。神的祝福是无限量的,连摇带按的倒在我们的怀里,我们的器皿有多大,主就加给多少。到二○一七年三会所的人数大幅繁增了百分之二十,又达到三百位。
这实在是主给弟兄们的一个异象,当三会所人数达到三百位,就是主在题醒我们:繁增的时候到了!于是二○一八年再繁增出七十一会所。二○二○年六十二会所也繁增出八十二会所。二○二二年,三会所人数又达到三百○一位,虽正逢疫情期间,弟兄们继续祷告,寻求繁增的负担,要繁增出一○三会所。
为这目标,各区形成一个核心事奉群组,每个周六前都将周六要看望的福音朋友或是名单中不常聚会的圣徒,借着祷告及确定的邀约,再一同配搭前去看望。每次看望回来人人都很喜乐,觉得有神同在、满了盼望。
去年二○二三年九月开始,圣徒们积极配搭福音节期,周周有爱筵及圣经讲座。十月开始也邀请大安大区十个会所轮流于每周六下午一同外出福音开展或去探望圣徒。每个主日晚上都有福音聚会,以约翰福音『九种人的需要』为主题,由大安区各会所配搭见证与信息,众人同心合意,见证福音成了我们生活的一部分。
罗马书十五章六节:『使你们同心合意,用同一的口,荣耀我们主耶稣基督的神与父』。后续还有青年班开展队学员与我们一同争战往前,传扬福音、教导真理,使万民作主的门徒。
