Full-Time Training - Testimonies

To Take the Opportunity, A.L.

I was saved in November 1987, but I did not truly realize what the church was until 1993. After that time, my life had a big turn that was marvelous to me. The Lord showed me that I had been selected before the foundation of the world and according to His good will (Ephesians 1:4, 9). He showed me that I did not choose Him, but that He chose me. I have received much light, grace and mercy from reading the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee and I have no words to thank the Lord for releasing this ministry at this present age. I feel that God's throne is the source of this ministry; this is why its flow is so fresh and new each day and never ends.

When I heard about the Full-Time Training in Anaheim (FTTA); I thought that it was not for me. But God said in His Word, “My thoughts are not your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8) and thanks to His mercy He brought me to spend some time with brothers in South Gate. In November of last year, the brothers announced that a training for the middle age brothers and sisters had been opened. At that time my heart responded with joy and I thought that I could go. In the following weeks one of the elders asked me if I would like to take the training and I did not hesitate in responding to him that I would like to and that I had thought about it. So thanks to his support, I am here in the Training and to me it has been an incomparable experience. The Lord has shown me how much I need to be trained. Here I realized how empty I am in knowing His Word and the books of the ministry. This way, I can be more constituted with the high truths. I have enjoyed the Lord through prayer. He has become so real in me. Here we are in an atmosphere that cannot be found in any other place. I thank the Lord for His mercy towards me in allowing me to be in this place, and my prayer is that I will take advantage of each minute here, and that the Lord would enlarge my heart and increase my capacity to receive what He has for me.
