This is my first time to bring the saints from Germany to attend the summer training. The following is the report by a couple in Berlin.
Report on the Summer Training 2025 and Blending Trip in the United States
We would like to share a brief testimony and report of our recent blending trip and participation in the Summer Training 2025 in Anaheim, California, which was a deeply enriching and life-supplying experience.
A group of eight saints from Berlin and Stuttgart traveled together for this trip and a long the we met more saints from Hamburg and Tubingen. Our journey began with a flight to Austin, Texas, where we had a precious time of blending with the saints in Austin and San Antonio. The warmth, care, and shepherding of the saints in these localities was both touching and uplifting. We experienced firsthand the oneness of the Body of Christ expressed practically through the hospitality and mutual care of the members.
From Austin, we flew to Los Angeles, where we were received in hospitality by the saints in the church in Cerritos. We stayed there throughout the duration of the training. The saints’ care was outstanding, expressing the reality of the Body of Christ as the house of God and household of the faith.
Each morning, we gathered for PSRP (Pray-Read-Study-Recite-Pray) at 7:00 AM in the meeting hall. We followed this pattern:
• We pray-read key verses and dove into the main burden of each message.
• We pre-read and recited key points from the outline.
• We then prayed over what we had received, allowing the word to be infused into us in a living and experiential way and shared on these points.
After the PSRP session on the first message, the saints in Cerritos prepared breakfast and lunch for us. We then used the afternoon to rest and prepare for the evening training session at the Ministry Conference Center in Anaheim, where we were deeply constituted with the rich speaking of the present ministry. For dinner, we made use of the LSM meal plan at the training site.
During our stay, we also took time to blend with saints from different localities who invited us for fellowship and mutual encouragement. We participated in two Lord’s Table meetings—the first with the church in Cerritos, and the second with the church in Anaheim. Seeing so many saints from across the earth gathered in oneness was a foretaste of the New Jerusalem, the ultimate corporate expression of Christ.
After the training concluded, we had a short sightseeing tour to the coast and enjoyed a lovely dinner in fellowship with our host families, further deepening our felkowship in the Body.
We can testify that the entire 12 days were filled with life, enjoyment, blending, and shepherding. What impressed us the most was how Christ was so richly manifested in each saint we met. Whether through formal meetings or informal fellowship, we were constantly brought back to the person of Christ and the building up of His Body.
We especially want to highlight the value of participating in one of the Seven Annual Feasts (Deut. 16:16), such as the semiannual trainings. As Witness Lee shared in the Life-study of Leviticus, these feasts are times of rejoicing before the Lord, of receiving the riches of Christ in a corporate way, and of being supplied for our daily church life.
The practice of PSRP during the training brought us into a much deeper experience of the Word and the burden of the ministry. It became a daily enjoyment, helping us to be constituted with the truth and filled with Christ, not merely as knowledge, but as life and experience.
Encouragement for the Saints
We wholeheartedly encourage all the saints to consider joining such blending trips in the future. Acc
Blending is for the building up of the Body of Christ, and it preserves us in the unique oneness. Blending tears down walls, dissolves opinions, and brings us into a fresh appreciation of the Lord’s move on the earth today.
We also encourage all to strive to attend the Seven Annual Feasts to receive the up-to-date speaking of the ministry, be constituted with the truth, and have your vision uplifted and refreshed.
We praise and thank the Lord for this marvelous opportunity. May many more saints be stirred up to join in this flow of life and fellowship.
In the one Body of Christ,
Amado & Claudia
2025年夏季训练与美国相调之旅报告
我们愿意简单分享我们最近的相调之旅与参加2025年加州阿纳翰夏季训练的见证与报告,这段经历极为丰富并满了生命的供应。
此次共有八位来自柏林与斯图加特的圣徒一同前往旅程中,并与来自汉堡与图宾根的圣徒相遇。行程的第一站是飞往德州奥斯汀,在那里我们与奥斯汀与圣安东尼奥的圣徒有宝贵的相调时间。当地圣徒的温暖接待、顾惜与牧养让我们深受感动并得着扶持。我们亲身经历到基督身体的合一,在肢体间的接待与彼此顾惜中实际地得以彰显。
从奥斯汀我们飞往洛杉矶,受到了Cerritos召会圣徒的接待。我们整个训练期间都住在那里。圣徒的照顾非常周到,显出基督身体的实际,作为神的家与信仰的家。
每天早上,我们在会所早上七点聚集进行PSRP(祷读-研读-背诵-祷告),我们的操练如下:
• 祷读重点经节,进入每篇信息的主负担。
• 预先阅读并背诵纲目的要点。
• 然后为着我们所领受的祷告,让话语以活的、经历的方式注入我们里面,并彼此分享。
早上PSRP结束后,Cerritos的圣徒为我们预备了早餐与午餐。下午我们休息并预备晚上在阿纳翰职事会所的训练聚会,在那里我们被当前职事丰富的话语所构成。晚餐则使用了训练场地的LSM配套膳食。
训练期间,我们也抽空与不同地方的圣徒相调,他们邀请我们交通并彼此勉励。我们参加了两次主日擘饼聚会,一次是在Cerritos召会,另一次是在阿纳翰召会。看到来自世界各地的众圣徒在一中聚集,仿佛预尝了新耶路撒冷这终极的团体彰显。
训练结束后,我们短暂参观了海边,并与接待我们的家们一起享用了美好的晚餐,进一步加深了我们在身体里的交通。
我们见证,整整十二天的行程满了生命、喜乐、相调与牧养。最使我们印象深刻的是,我们所遇见的每一位圣徒都丰满地彰显基督。无论是在正式聚会中,或是非正式的交通里,我们不断被带回到基督这位人位,也更深经历祂身体的建造。
我们特别想强调参加“七个年节”(申命记16:16)之一的价值,例如这次的半年训练。正如李常受弟兄在《利未记生命读经》中所分享,这些节期是我们主前欢乐的时候,是我们团体领受基督丰富的时候,也是我们为着日常召会生活得着供应的时候。
PSRP的操练使我们更深进入主话与职事负担中。这成了我们每日的享受,帮助我们被真理构成,并被基督充满,不仅是在知识上,更是在生命与经历上。
对圣徒们的勉励
我们全心鼓励众圣徒未来能考虑参加这样的相调之旅。相调是为着基督身体的建造,也保守我们在独一的合一里。相调拆毁隔墙,溶解意见,使我们对主今日在地上的行动有新鲜的看见与珍赏。我们也鼓励众人努力参加七个年节,好得着职事最新的说话,被真理构成,并使异象得以提升与更新。
我们赞美并感谢主给我们这奇妙的机会。愿有更多的圣徒被激动,参与这生命与交通的水流。
在基督独一的身体里,
Amado 与 Claudia 敬上
