Lord’s Day Message: Testimonies of Young People
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. … For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. (1 Cor. 3:5-6, 9)
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, … Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (Eph. 4:11-13, 15-16)

- Pray that the Lord will bless the gospel friends among us to receive His salvation. Also pray that the Lord will keep us fervent in spirit to have more learning in the work of the gospel.
Also pray for the gospel meeting of hymns singing on Feb. 7 that through the hymns and testimonies many gospel friends can know and accept the Lord.
