Semiannual traing
An Overview of the Central Burden and Present Truth of the Lord's Recovery Before His Appearing
The churches in Northern California will conduct a NorCal-wide Video Training for the upcoming July Semiannual Training for all the churches that would like to participate.
The schedule includes a mandatory study time immediately following each message, so the additional study times listed are not mandatory. This is to give saints who must work the opportunity to participate in this training without loss of work time. We have tried our best to keep each training session within two hours, including testing for about 15 minutes before the message and the mandatory study time afterwards.
There are two open meetings: both Tuesday nights. We will reschedule our corporate prayer meetings so you can participate in these open meetings.

Saturday mornings 8:00-9:00
Truth Pursuit
We thank the Lord for leading the East Bay Churches in pursuing "the up-to-date truth" according to the ministry of the age in a definite way since February of last year. We are endeavoring to take the way of constitution by practicing Pray-Reading, Studying, Reciting and Prophesying (PSRP):
- Pray-Reading (P) is to exercise our spirit to touch the living Word in the written Word and have the divine reality, the processed Triune God as the applied word, infused into our being.
- Studying (S) is to exercise our mind of the spirit for the truth to get into us through our mentality, our understanding.
- Reciting (R) is to retain the understanding through the shining of the truth for constant and long-term nourishment. To practice in this way, we will have an accumulation of the truth and become persons continually under constant nourishment.
- After PSR, we will then be able to prophesy (P) and know how to present the truth to others, not merely to inspire them or to stir them up but to make them solid and constituted with the truth.
We will pursue and practice together every Saturday. For this coming year, may the Lord "Teach us then to number our days/ That we may gain a heart of wisdom" to redeem our Saturday mornings to buy the truth.
Scheduled Saturdays 10:00-12:00
Working Saints Perfecting Fellowship
We are thankful to the Lord that He has led us to a wonderful opportunity to be perfected by the Lord through the Working Saints Perfecting Fellowship. The goal of this fellowship is to perfect and equip the saints on how to serve the Lord and the saints in the proper church life. This fellowship is not exclusive to any particular age group and we strongly encourage older saints to also join and come alongside the working saints that we may all advance and be further blended as we are equipped to serve the Lord. We would like to particularly encourage sisters to join this time as the advancement of God’s economy in the church life very much depends on this group.
For this perfecting; registration is not required, attendance for each session is not mandatory and there is no fee. We hope that the saints would be burdened to practice these things seriously but we also realize there are many other time constraints on the working saints and as such this perfecting time will not demand or require the participating saints to go beyond their capacity.
Next meeting - to be announced

North american college training July 16-22
North American College Training
We are happy to announce that the 2023 North America College Training will be held July 16-22 in Champaign, Illinois, USA. The subject this year will be Love Prevails. We encourage you to begin shepherding the college students to save up for this and make plans to attend. Registration for this event will open by January 1, 2023.
The goal of this seven-day training is to supply college students with a vision, equip them with truth, help them in their experience of life, perfect them in the preaching of the gospel, and develop their character so that they can become useful vessels for the building up of the Body of Christ. Moreover, this training affords them the opportunity to blend with their peers who love God, pursue Christ, and seek His kingdom. The training imparts a healthy view to high school graduates as they transition into college, compelling them to live their college years to the Lord for His purpose. Approximately 2800 saints participated in our last North America College Training in 2019, including close to 1900 college students. We hope even more can attend in 2023. Thousands of college saints who have participated in previous college trainings received extensive and lasting spiritual benefits, especially the incoming freshman (this year’s graduating high school seniors).
This training is open to all college students, both current and recently graduated, and newly graduated high school seniors who are at least 17 years old before the training begins. All those coming must be willing to fully go along with the busy and intense training schedule, expectations, etc. They must be willing to participate in all of the meetings, gatherings, and activities. Please contact the leading brothers for more information.
