2. One-week Trainings, 1-6 April and 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 1-6 April and 13-18 May. 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.

4. Dieppe/Rouen Fellowship – Lord’s Day @ 6:30pm

The church in London will be hosting a time with Brother Don Pullen tonight at 6:30pm GMT to fellowship the burden and need for Dieppe and Rouen. 

The churches in the UK have been asked to bear the burden for Rouen, the capital of Normandy. This burden is not just for the gospel trips – it includes blending with and strengthening the saints in Dieppe in the months beforehand and after as well as during the Olympics. We may arrange some trips to Dieppe beforehand to get to know the saints and situation in Dieppe and scout out Rouen.

This time will be crucial in releasing further details about this burden. We encourage all the saints, whether or not they’ve signed up for a gospel trip or indicated openness to this burden before, to attend the session.
