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

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.

We are pleased to announce that the Ministry Volunteer Program (MVP) will continue to offer a summer 10-week full-time internship program in 2025. This announcement is for the 10-week summer internship. A subsequent announcement for the 1-week summer workshop will follow later. The internship program offers volunteers the opportunity to assist various GA departments with ministry projects serving evangelical and/or pastoral purposes over a 10-week period, while at the same time developing their talents and skills for the ministry work. The start and end date of the internship can vary for each intern to accommodate varying school and work schedules.

One of the weeks of the MVP Internship overlaps with the 1-week MVP Workshop, and all interns are to attend and assist with the workshop. Interns are also expected to attend the NYTS/PMVP during their internship. Depending on project needs, they may work at the USGA office, remotely, or in a hybrid arrangement. Those who work at the USGA office are eligible to apply for a living subsidy of up to $100 per week to help cover for meals, gas, lodging, and other living necessities. In addition, interns are encouraged to stay at the USGA dormitory if they are from out of town.

The internship program is open to all members who are 18 or older. Working professionals, students, and anyone with a heart to serve are encouraged to apply. Applicants for the MVP Internship are required to have attended the 1-week MVP Workshop or the NYTS (or similar) at least once previously (exceptions may be granted). Full-time commitment is expected. Please apply by March 31, 2025 using the following registration link:
