Defense & Confirmation Project – In response to a recent letter from the opposition, an open public statement is being prepared concerning our beliefs, along with positive testimonies from contacts among significant theologians and ministry leaders. Please pray: 1) that the statement would have a significant impact on the campus work; 2) for the meetings of the brothers with these contacts and that they have positive outcomes; 3) for the strengthening of those who committed to write testimonies and their timely completion; 4) for the traveling brothers – that they would be safe and strengthened in the Lord; and 5) for other open doors. Additionally, the Christian Research Institute has recently posted new video clips that accompany audio segments of the Bible Answer Man radio broadcasts concerning the local churches and the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. These videos are available at: http://www.equip.org/localchurch and http://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL793DA547CA28A410. We encourage you to view these and “like” the ones that strike you. Please continue to pray for the effectiveness of the clips, especially the positive effect on young people on the college campuses.
