The Olivet Leadership Institute (OLI) entitled ‘The Sovereignty of God and Spiritual Service of Saints’ for Asia Pacific Members concluded on Aug 15th. About 100 members from 14 Asia Pacific countries gathered to for the training. There is great hope for the future of the region, as the students seek to deeply understand the history of God and His heart.

During the OLI, which was held for two nights and three days after the Summer retreat, Asia leaders deeply meditated on the sovereignty of God, His history, and the gospel. During four special lectures, the future Asia leaders were trained in the faith and tradition of God’s Word in Korea.

Notably, the OLI program at APOC ignited a heart of love toward God in every attendant. Romans Chapter 9-10 lectures by P. Sophia Hong, representative of OLI Korea, taught the unending works of salvation for those who cherish and honor the Will of God.

Dr. Joseph Lee delivered the first and second special lectures, entitled ‘Understanding Old Testament’ and ‘Understanding New Testament’. These lectures thoroughly covered the history, authority, and general context of the Bible. He commented, “Bibliology can help believers better understand the context of the Bible, and the reader can more deeply meditate and apply the Word to their own life. It enlarges the width and depth of meditation.” Participants were soaked with this unconditional, unlimited love and the truth of the Word of God.

The prayer gathering was led by P. Joel Kim, representative of Elim Korea. All members responded to God’s love, surrendering themselves fully. Fiery, tear-filled prayers of repentance, thankfulness, and determined devotion filled the conference room.

After the official program concluded, Asia Pacific leaders toured the Namsan Tower, which is a national landmark located on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul.

Seeking to make progress in US mission in the weeks before Pentecost, churches will be pushing in to share the gospel across the nation while co-working within their regions and Olivet Assembly leadership.
“While our mission, vision and goals and strategies to expand the mission in the United States and Canada are not necessarily new, the main challenge for the mission is to take concrete steps and action plans in the weeks ahead to match God’s desire for revival across the nation, especially as Pentecost approaches,” said an OA USA representative.
Churches are setting their evangelism and program goals to guide believers toward greater commitment to Jesus Christ as church members and gaining a strong desire for living for God’s Kingdom. Olivet Assembly USA is also preparing for the June 5 Olivet Leadership Institute Summer Session that aims to train new Christian leaders that will be active across churches and ministries that are a part of the Assembly.
Prayerful and diligent implementation of church growth strategies will be key across many church activities including ongling bible studies, outreach programs, establishment of fellowships and ministries. Communication between churches, regions and the denominational headquarters will be important in seeking a unified, yet diverse approach toward the mission.
“By trusting in God’s providence that has given us all we need to make progress, we aim to go with diligence and fervor to make our Pentecost gatherings a time that marks a point of great victory for the Lord in sharing the gospel and dream for God’s Kingdom to many people,” said the OA representative.
OA USA urges prayers for advancement of the US mission.

There is power in the Word of God, and we as Christians draws strength from it. Our source of wellspring is from the bible but what happens if you are placed in a situation or certain circumstances where accessing the bible is impossible?

That’s when memorizing scripture becomes important and at times crucial to our Christian Walk.

The Word of God is more than just knowledge, it is life itself because it is this heavenly revelation from God. In your most despair moments, scripture can draw to your conscious to give comfort and guidance. Memorization will drives us to meditate the word of God and the more we meditate the Word of God speaks to us more.

In James 4:8 God says those who come near to Him, He will also come near to them. Those who invest their time memorizing scripture will not waste anytime, the more time that is spent in it, the more grace will be poured out equally.

In the months of Lent let us meditate and memorize the scripture more.
