General report
The Lord’s Move in All the Earth: Experiencing the Reality of the Body of Christ
In this last age, the Body of Christ needs to be fully built up so that the Bride can be prepared for the Lord’s return. Responding to the Lord’s call, the second-year students of the training center were divided into 18 teams and sent out to various countries such as Japan, Cambodia, India, Laos, Thailand, Germany, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Greece, and Zimbabwe from March 31st to May 4th, to spread the gospel of the kingdom. Praise the Lord, the saints in different places worked together to practice the new way, not only spreading the high-quality gospel but also leading many gospel friends and new ones into the church life. In the span of five weeks, a total of 169 new ones were baptized and saved!
The Lord’s need in Asia is great. This time, a total of four teams of students went to Japan, respectively in Chiba, Hokkaido, Tokyo, Sendai, Kansai, and nearby cities. In the process, we experienced the joy of the Triune God becoming our joy, and our joy becoming the joy of the Japanese people! Many Japanese saints were evangelizing for the first time after the pandemic, and even the sign language saints who couldn’t preach to people distributed gospel tracts. The saints experienced that as long as they were willing to go out and everyone played their part, they could experience the joy of bearing fruit together in the body!
In Southeast Asia and South Asia, six teams of students carried out their work, respectively in Cambodia, Laos, India, and Thailand. When the teams worked in Phnom Penh and Battambang in Cambodia, it happened to be during the New Year holidays, but the saints were willing to stay and work together. As a result, the Lord continued to add saved ones to the church and raised new campus groups. May the Lord attract more young people who yearn to pursue His Word in Cambodia.
In Laos, the work was limited by the external environment. The students mainly focused on contacting familiar people among the saints. Through more prayer and fellowship, they spread the gospel in their daily lives. Everyone experienced that it’s not only going out to do work that allows us to cooperate with the Lord. In India, there were similar restrictions and difficulties, but the students practiced learning to let the Spirit be free and shared the gospel truth they had studied, prayed, and memorized in a vivid way, directly preaching to people. Although Indians were easily persuaded to accept invitations, they might not necessarily keep their appointments. This made the students urgently pray and seek the Lord’s guidance, and seek ways out in fellowship with the body. As a result, they led people to be baptized and enter church life through the body’s cooperation.
The students originally planned to go to Zambia in Africa, but due to visa issues, they switched to Thailand. Even with these external changes, they deeply experienced His presence and the peace that comes from being secure. The brothers in Thailand eagerly prepared for the students’ work, and both the students and the saints experienced the strengthening of the seven Spirits. Although Thailand is a country with numerous temples, the power of the gospel can save all who believe! As a result, almost every day they were able to lead people to be saved. The saints also worked together to strengthen their shepherding work, so that the new ones could remain in the church life.
The work in Zimbabwe, Africa, was mainly divided into three teams. Usually, the whole team went to the campuses to evangelize, and when they split into smaller groups, they had many house meetings with the saints. The saints had a great burden for people, and they often invited familiar people to house meetings. In every house meeting, the students simply opened the Bible and led people to understand the truth of the two Spirits. This work in a Christian country brought in people who were seeking the truth!
In Europe, seven teams worked in six countries, mainly setting up stalls near campuses or train stations to distribute Bibles. In Romania and Greece, due to the strong Orthodox background, people had read the Bible but were blinded by religion and did not understand its inner meaning. By sharing the rich recovery of the original Bible and its annotations, the unveiled truth inspired their yearning for the Lord’s Word. One Greek seeker attended church every week, but she had never practiced calling upon God and praying in the spirit. This fundamental truth and practice, however, allowed her to touch the Lord and feel a joy she had never experienced before!
The Iberian Peninsula team traveled through five cities in Portugal and Spain, just as Song of Songs 7:11 says: “I went out into the field to see the budding vine, to see if the vine had budded, and if the pomegranates had blossomed.” They experienced being sojourners, traveling from place to place. With the active cooperation of the local saints, language was no longer a barrier. Even when they encountered security guards driving them away from campuses, everyone continued to cooperate with the Lord in prayer and faith, inviting open people, even to their homes, to attend meetings. They truly experienced the lively cooperation in the body, enabling the Lord’s move without hindrance.
In Germany and Poland, although the ways of evangelizing were different from Taiwan, everyone worked together in one new one. The students were particularly touched by the example of the Polish saints in fighting for the Lord’s interests. One family in Poland had served in Ukraine for many years. When the war broke out, they could have gone back to their hometown to seek refuge, but seeing the Lord’s need and for the sake of the church’s interests, they chose to stay and help Ukrainian saints relocate to Poland. The Polish church also received many Ukrainian saints and helped them rebuild their lives.
Thank the Lord for His mercy, allowing the students to share in His move in all the earth and experience the reality of the Body of Christ. May the Lord pour out His blessings and strengthen the students to further prepare themselves to become those who respond to His call, following the Lamb to all the earth!
【二〇二四年 五周海外开展报导】
总报导篇
主题：有分主在全地行动，经历基督身体实际
在这末了的时代，基督的身体需要全面的被建造起来，使新妇能豫备好，迎接主的回来。训练中心二年级学员响应主的呼召，于三月三十一日至五月四日期间，分成十八个队伍分别至日本、柬埔寨、印度、寮国、泰国、德国、波兰、西班牙、葡萄牙、罗马尼亚、希腊和津巴布韦，传扬国度的福音。赞美主，各地圣徒一同竭力配搭实行新路，不仅传扬高品福音，也带领许多福音朋友与新人进入召会生活，并在五周的期间内共带了169位新人受浸得救！
主在亚洲的需要是大的。本次共有四队学员前往日本，分别在千叶、北海道、东京、仙台、关西，以及邻近的城市开展。过程中我们经历三一神的喜乐成为我们的喜乐，我们的喜乐成为日本人的喜乐！许多日本圣徒是疫情后第一次出访传福音，手语圣徒无法向人传讲也一同发福音单张。圣徒们经历到只要愿意走出去并且人人都尽功用，就能一同在身体里经历结果子的喜乐！
在东南亚及南亚共有六队学员开展，他们分别在柬埔寨、寮国、印度和泰国。在柬埔寨的金边以及马德望开展时恰逢新年的节期，但圣徒们却愿意留下来一同配搭。结果主将得救的人一再加给召会，并兴起了新的校园排，愿主在柬埔寨吸引更多渴慕追求主话的青年人。
在寮国的开展受到当地外在环境的限制，学员主要以接触圣徒的熟门为主。藉着更多的祷告和交通，在生活中传扬福音，众人一同经历不是只有外出开展纔能与主合作。在印度也有类似的限制与为难，但学员们操练学习让灵自由，将祷研背讲的福音真理，以鲜活的方式直接向人传讲。印度人虽容易答应邀约，却不一定会赴约。这也使学员们迫切祷告寻求主的引导，并在身体的交通中寻求出路，结果就在身体的配搭中带人受浸，进到召会生活。
原本要前往非洲赞比亚的学员们，因签证问题而转往泰国开展。外面虽有变动，却深刻经历到祂的同在与安息稳妥。泰国弟兄们热切豫备学员们的开展，学员与圣徒们都经历了七灵的加强。虽然泰国是一个庙宇林立的国家，但福音的大能要救一切信的人！结果几乎每天都能带人得救，圣徒们也配搭加强牧养的工作，使新人能留在召会生活里。
在非洲津巴布韦的开展主要分为三个小队，平常全队会一同到校园里传福音，分队时则与圣徒们有大量的家聚会。圣徒们对人非常有负担，常常邀约熟门家聚会。在每一次的家聚会中，学员们不说别的，就是打开圣经带人认识二灵的真理。在这个基督教国家的开展，带进了寻求真理的人！
在欧洲六个国家共有七个开展队，主要在校园或车站附近摆摊发放圣经。在罗马尼亚和希腊，因着浓厚的东正教背景，人虽读过圣经，却被宗教所蒙蔽而不认识其内在意义，藉着和人分享恢复本圣经和批注的丰富，解开的真理就激发他们对主话的渴慕。有一位希腊的寻求者虽然周周去教堂，却从未操练灵向神呼求和祷告。这个基础的真理与操练，却使她摸着到主，并感觉到从未有过的喜乐！
伊比利半岛队走过葡萄牙和西班牙共五个城市，如同雅歌七章11节所说的，同主出到田间村庄住宿，经历从一地到另一地寄居。因着有当地圣徒积极的配搭，使语言不成为拦阻；卽使在校园遇到保安人员的驱赶，众人仍在祷告中凭着信心与主配合，将敞开的人甚至家邀约到聚集中。实在经历在身体里生机的配搭，使主的行动不受拦阻。
在德国和波兰，虽然当地传福音的方式与台湾不同，但众人乃是在一个新人里配搭。学员们特别摸着波兰圣徒为主权益争战的榜样。在波兰有一个家曾在乌克兰服事多年，战争开始时他们原本可以回家乡避难，但因看见主的需要并为着召会的权益，而选择留下来帮助乌克兰圣徒移居到波兰。波兰召会也接待许多乌克兰圣徒，并帮助他们重新生活。
感谢主的怜悯，使学员们有分主在全地的行动，经历基督身体的实际。愿主会倾倒祂的祝福，也加强学员们更豫备自己，成为那班答应主的呼召，跟随羔羊往全地去的人！
