And He said to them, Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt. 4:19
Dear saints, even as many universities in the United States and around the world begin the fall semester, let us pray that the Lord would bless the campus work in the Lord’s recovery and would use the campus work to gain many young ones for the Lord’s move (Ezek. 36:37-38; Matt. 4:19).
If all the churches practice preaching the gospel in the campus work in this way, we will have a prevailing church life. One of the best ways for the churches to get new contacts is to send our young people to the campus. The best fishing ponds for the Lord’s recovery are the college campuses. We should send our fishermen to the fishing ponds. Then the older saints can stay home to prepare snacks, refreshments, and the best dinners to gather the new contacts at least once every four weeks. The living rooms will catch them.
We need a young army that can be sent to the campuses to bring in more young people, but all the older and middle-aged saints are also needed. We should not be discouraged that we may be too old to go to the campus. The church’s gospel preaching needs all the saints. Because the local churches in the Lord’s recovery are standing on the genuine ground of oneness, we can have a very good coordination. We all need to learn so that we can have the best coordination.
