Praise and thank God, pursuant to the resolution (M-5) reached at the 22nd National Church Conference held in Dallas, Texas in 1997, USGA established the USGA Interest-Free Student Loan in 1999.

The purpose of this program is to provide timely partial financial assistance toward tuition, fees, and living expenses to our church members who really have financial needs.  Applicants must be  permanent residents or citizens of the United States who are or will be attending college or graduate school in the U.S.

If you are interested, please click on this link for detailed guidelines of the program and the application form.

Application deadline: June 30, 2025.
Any application received after this date will not be considered for this year.

We would also like to encourage members to show their love and contribute generously to this fund so that the program may be continued without interruption and more qualified young members can benefit from this program. Please indicate “Interest-Free Student Loan Fund” on the check (this program, in its early years, previously was inaccurately called a scholarship). Thank you very much and may God remember your love and generosity!

The mission of the True Jesus Church is to spread the gospel of salvation to all the world, to make all peoples disciples of the Lord Jesus, and to teach the disciples to obey everything the Lord Jesus commanded.

Thanks to the guidance of the Lord, the ministry of the true church continues to progress in the United States. There is a significant need for more full-time ministers to help with the holy work, including:

• Serving as stationed full-time ministers for each of the 29 churches and prayer houses in the United States;
• Ongoing work of sowing and watering in newly developed areas;
• Pastoral visitations to countries in Central and South America under the USGA’s responsibility.

This is a call to recruit two more theological students for the USGA 2026 Full-Time Theological Training Program (TTP) to be prepared and equipped for full-time ministry as preachers. One theological student has already been accepted, and this is a call for two more to join.  The training will begin in February 2026.

Application details are:

• Date of Examination: October 11^th, 2025
• Location of Examination: Flushing Church
• Application Deadline: September 15^th, 2025

Currently, there is already a lack of full-time ministers to cover the holy work listed above. In the coming years, there will be a significantly greater need for more, as three preachers will be retiring by the next minister rotation in 2029, and another two will retire in a few years after. At least four years of training are required to become a full-time minister, so it is especially important that we have theological students  recruited for the 2026 TTP program.

Please keep the TTP recruitment in your prayers and encourage those who have a heart to serve the Lord to apply. May the Lord move some youths to repay the love and mercies that God has bestowed on them, and to take the opportunity to dedicate their lives to full-time ministry.

Enclosed are the updated 2026 TTP application form and application guidelines. Below, you can find TTP recruitment videos:

May the abundant grace of our Lord Jesus be with you always!

God Will Give the Increase When We Do Our Best

By God’s grace, we have yet another opportunity to testify about God’s work in Europe. He continues to guide His church throughout Europe, whether it is in times of trials and tribulations or when we rejoice together in His presence. So we give thanks and praise to our Father in heaven.

Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul! (Ps 103:21-22, ESV)

On a personal level, we all strive for perfection in the eyes of God. As a church, we also grow and “are being built together into a dwelling place for God” (Eph 2:22, ESV). This does not happen overnight, but we take one step at a time and God adds to it. 

Throughout Europe there are 16 countries with 10 languages spoken, where we have churches, prayer houses, or members. The development of the True Jesus Church in each country is different, yet there is a pattern to it. We start off by introducing regular Sabbath services and train local members to lead Bible studies and sermons during family services. Later on, we start the legal registration process, to be able to act as a legal entity in each country. Currently, we are already registered in France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Hungary. The members in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Greece are going through this process, each according to the local regulations and with their individual challenges. In parallel to the church registration, we also build up the internal organization such as a church board. 

Once the church is registered, we look for a place to rent or buy to make it a proper church and move away from having family services only. Throughout Europe we have bought or rented 8 chapels, where we can publicly put up a True Jesus Church sign. The members in Paris (France), Albacete (Spain) and Budapest (Hungary) are in the process of purchasing, renovating, or building church buildings to give glory to God. Each project poses different challenges and tests our faith. In Paris, there are legal disputes with the city council about the usage of the building as a church. In Albacete, we strive for more unity to have a clear vision about the renovation process. The church building in Budapest will be the first one in Europe that we build from scratch. This is a huge undertaking in every aspect and tests our abilities in every way: Will we have enough faith and unity throughout the process? Are we willing to spend our time and money for God?

In the more mature churches we build up the next generation, such as through student spiritual convocations, that are now a regular event every year in Germany, Spain, Italy, and Russia. We also grow in evangelism and literary ministry, producing leaflets and other content in the individual local languages and compiling hymn books. All to fulfill Jesus’ prophecy:

And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. (Mk 13:10, ESV)

While we give our best, God adds to His work. After we started regular Sabbath services in the Netherlands last year, He gave us truthseekers. When we started the work on the church building in Budapest, He granted us unity and faith. When we were in need of workers, He added Moscow Church to the European Coordination Center (ECC). His grace is abundant!

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift! (2 Cor 9:15, ESV)

Let us continue to pray in one accord for the holy work in Europe, so we may all bring glory to His name. Amen.

Praise and thank our Lord Jesus Christ that the San Diego House of Prayer has been growing in membership. However, at their current location, they often face challenges due to insufficient space. For nearly 20 years, they have been renting and sharing facilities with other religious groups and  organizations, limiting their ability to host larger regional events. Recently, the San Diego House of Prayer congregation has approved the process of purchasing a chapel from one of two potential properties within San Diego. The estimated costs for these properties are $4,000,000 and $3,800,000.

The preferred property is listed at $4,000,000, with $800,000 in available funds and an additional $850,000 pledged by local members. However, there is still a shortfall of $2,350,000. The San Diego House of Prayer would like to solicit loans and donations within the next one to two weeks to move forward with the purchase and completion of the building.

We kindly ask that all donors include the note “For SDHOP Fund” on checks. For more details on donation methods, please refer to the enclosed San Diego House of Prayer contribution request letter, along with photos of the building for your reference.

Please remember them in your daily prayers and participate in this sacred work.  May God remember your generosity and love for His ministry.

Praise and thank God that through the countless prayers and the diligent effort of many coworkers and brethren, Sacramento Church has acquired a new property at 1900 Potrero Way, Sacramento, CA 95822, at the end of January 2025.

Due to the unsatisfactory condition of the church building, the Sacramento Church congregation has approved the renovation of the new chapel. Sacramento Church has USD $1,234,000 in funds. The estimated sale value of the current chapel building, which is currently on the market, after deducting loan payments to USGA and churches, is USD $555,000. Therefore, to fully fund the renovation and ensure the new facility is fully functional and operational, Sacramento Church needs to raise an additional USD $1,711,000.

We kindly ask all donors to include the note “For Renovation Fund” and provide an email address on checks and to use the same designation when donating through other methods, such as Zelle, to help ensure proper allocation and ensure providing a receipt with accurate financial records.

Payable to: True Jesus Church Sacramento

Mailing Address: 2416 Sloat Way, Sacramento, CA 95818

Enclosed is Sacramento Church’s contribution request letter, which includes photos of the new building for your information. Please remember them in your daily prayers and participate in this sacred work. May God remember your generosity and love for His ministry.

In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, the followers of Christ can find peace and strength by placing their unwavering trust in Him. Not only should we maintain consistency in worship and prayer, we also need to encourage and build each other up in faith through fellowship. In the first half of 2024, a number of national fellowships were held in the UK, including National Married Couples Fellowship, National Youth Fellowship, National Evergreen Fellowship and National Sisters Fellowship. Many brothers and sisters grasped hold of these opportunities to learn and share together within the household of God.

To help brethren equip themselves as good soldiers of Christ, the UKGA has organised various training events throughout the year. The Adult Theological Training Class and the National Minister and Worker Spiritual Cultivation Seminar were held in February and June respectively. Apart from strengthening biblical knowledge, our Department of Training also included sessions concerning daily life issues in these events, such as “How to Face Social Injustice” and “Amnesia, Dementia and Church Support”. 

Moreover, our Religious Education (RE) Team has organised a number of seminars for RE teachers and trainees as well as students. The first RE Trainee Teacher Graduation Seminar was conducted online in mid-July in order to improve teaching quality, followed by the annual National Student Spiritual Convocation (NSSC) held at different locations at the end of the same month. Thanks be to God that the number of students registered for the NSSC exceeded 200 for the first time. We pray that our younger generation will continue to keep themselves in the love of God. 

As believers of the true church, we need to make use of every opportunity to become witnesses for Christ and live for Him. In addition to regular online evangelistic services, the National Evangelism Group has organised two national fellowships in January and November this year. These aim to strengthen the work of evangelism, through fostering a stronger bond among the various evangelism planning groups at both national and local levels as well as providing our brethren with a deeper understanding of church doctrines. Undoubtedly, literary ministry also plays an important role in spreading the gospel and nourishing the flock of Christ. We truly thank God that the UKGA’s first full-time literary ministry office worker commenced his employment at the start of the year. He is currently receiving three years of theological training provided by the US General Assembly. 

The membership in many places of worship in the UK and Ireland has been increasing in recent years. The Place of Worship in Aberdeen started holding services in a property acquired last year, while the Place of Worship in Essex made an offer on a property which was accepted by the vendor in May. But a few places of worship have been hiring venues for Sabbath services for a number of years. The brethren in Dublin, Glasgow and Leeds are therefore striving to find their own permanent church buildings. As Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Mt 19:26). May the Lord Jesus Christ strengthen our faith and continue to guide the church development nationally.
