2. One-week Training, 13-18 May

Amana Trust would like to invite all the saints to join the Spring 2024 One-week Trainings, which will be held at Woodland Camp on 13-18 May (1-6 April has been cancelled). The messages and materials are based on the four great matters—truth, life, the church and the gospel. Each series of One-week Trainings explores these four areas using different materials so that those who attend repeatedly will steadily broaden their appreciation of these areas. These times are profitable both for the saints and the new ones we are caring for.

The burden of these one-week trainings is the “perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). These times are for us to receive an infusion of the truth, to be perfected for our functioning in the church life, and to become equipped and vitalized for the gospel.

For more information and the online application, please go to https://amanatrust.org.uk/page/one-week-training or phone +44 (0)1708 380 301. Due to limited space, please register as soon as possible.
