● A Blending with the church in Coquitlam

Behold, how good and pleasant, for brothers to dwell in unity! (Psalm 133:1) On July 1, 2012, more than 80 saints from the church in Coquitlam came to blend with the church in Richmond. The total attendance on that Lord's day was over 500 saints, gathered before the Lord's table to remember the Lord and worship the Father.

The saints from Coquitlam testified concerning the grace they have obtained from the Lord, from a small number of saints to about 40 when the church was established in Nov. 6^th, 2011, up to the present number of over 80 saints, almost double from last year. This is a wonderful testimony of the rapid advance of the Lord's work by His grace.

The Coquitlam brothers expressed their hope to build their own meeting hall in the future (at present, they are renting a community centre) in order to increase in number and propagate the church life.  After the meeting, everyone enjoyed a love feast and the sweet fellowship in the house of God. We hope the saints form Coquitlam can come to blend with us regularly. May the Lord abundantly bless the church in Coquitlam!

The church in Coquitlam (inclusive of the Tri-cities of Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Port Coquitlam) meets every Lord's day from 10 am to 12 pm at Kyle Centre in Port Moody.

Blending of Districts 1 and 3 producing a fruit of peace
Date: Feb 11, 2012

On February 11, 2012, districts 1 and 3 brothers and sisters had a blending meeting at the home of brother Jie-cai Tian. In a fervent atmosphere, more than 60 adults and children came and filled the house to overflowing. The saints were burning in spirit, singing, sharing, and testifying with much enjoyment and release of the spirit. What made it more joyful for everyone was that brother Guo-ping Li declared right then and there that he wanted to be baptized into the name of the Lord and to enter into the kingdom of God.

Guo-ping Li is the husband of sister Yan Zhang of district 1. He had heard the gospel many times but had not been baptized. His wife and many saints had prayed for many years, and finally at this blending meeting, he touched God and God’s love through the earnest care of the saints, received the Lord’s salvation, and was regenerated to become a member of the household of God, and a fellow partaker of God’s inheritance with his wife and with all the saints.
