The Full-Time Training in Anaheim is one way Brother Witness Lee took to address the need of teaching the truths in an educational way. Today, the Online Full-Time Training allows you to go through the same FTTA curriculum completely online in your own home. If you are interested in getting into the truth in an educational way, there will be a brief information session about FTTA-OL on Saturday at 2:30PM in the Parents Room, located in Austin Ballroom 2/3.
There will be an information meeting for all those interested in or considering attending the Full-time Training in Anaheim. The meeting will be held immediately after the Saturday night meeting in the Parents’ Room, located in Austin Ballroom 2/3. This meeting is open to anyone who would like to learn more about FTTA, including high school students and parents.
There will be a time of fellowship for working saints on Saturday afternoon from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM here in the main conference meeting room. “Working saints” may include, but is not limited to, graduate students, working saints, parents, and campus or community serving ones. Other burdened saints are welcome to join as well. In order to start the meeting promptly, we encourage all who plan to attend to arrive at 3:20 PM.
Childcare is available for children currently in kindergarten through 6th grade. Children may be dropped off 15 minutes before scheduled meeting times on the 3rd level of this conference center. Please pick up your children immediately after the close of each meeting.

We are pleased to announce the availability of the English New Testament Recovery Version with footnotes, deluxe edition. The text of this deluxe edition has been re-typeset, reprinted on fine Bible paper, sewn, and bound in bonded leather.

These deluxe New Testaments are now available for purchase in the book sales area.
We are pleased to announce the Spanish Himnos, 2nd edition. This new hymnal has been revised to include 410 new hymns, greatly enhancing our ability to speak, sing, praise, and enjoy the truths with one another. This new hymnal contains guitar chords and alternate tunes, is printed on high quality, thin Bible paper, is sewn, and is bound with bonded leather. This new hymnal is now available for purchase at the LSM bookstore.
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the softbound Life-study of the Old Testament. In this second edition, the verses and text have been updated to the current Recovery Version and the content redistributed into 30 volumes.

During this conference there will be two gatherings for the young people in 7th through 12th grades to sing and fellowship. One will be on Saturday and one on the Lord’s Day, both from 6:00–7:00 PM in the Parents’ Room, located in Austin Ballroom 2/3. Parents and those who serve with the young people are welcome to attend.
We are pleased to announce the 2026 issue of Affirmation & Critique. This is the second issue in a series entitled “The Words of This Life,” which considers key biblical words that signify important aspects of our Christian life and our church life—words like faith, eternal life, grace, oneness, glory, church, worship. These wonderful words are common to all the believers, but Brother Lee often expressed his concern that many of these words have been “spoiled by Christianity, which has entirely missed the proper meaning of the proper words.” “The dictionary of today’s Christianity,” he says in another place, “differs from the dictionary of the Bible.”
The first issue of this new series was on the word faith. The 2026 issue is on the phrase eternal life. As Brother Lee points out, our recovered understanding of the word life is very different from the common understanding among many Christians:
We may speak concerning life, but even for the word life they have various interpretations; the word is the same, but their dictionary is different. When we speak of life, they nod their heads, but after the meeting we find out that they were nodding about something else. (The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1964, vol. 4, "Practical Lessons on the Experience of Life," p. 518)
For many believers, eternal life is merely a future state of prolonged human life with God. But for us who have been under this precious ministry, eternal life is much more than this. It is the eternal, uncreated divine life of God Himself! It is not only our future hope but also our present possession for us to experience, enjoy, and express as God’s genuine children and as the organic Body of Christ.
Brother Lee was very burdened for the distribution of A&C, not only among the churches but also to all of God’s children. We feel that this new series of issues will be an excellent way to introduce seeking believers to the riches of this ministry, and we encourage all the saints to consider purchasing multiple copies—one to read and additional copies to distribute among seeking believers.
The 2026 issue is now available for purchase in the bookroom and on all the major eBook platforms.
There will be two gospel workshops tomorrow, Lord’s Day, May 24, from 3:30 to 5:00 PM. One will be for the young people and the other for the college-age saints; both will focus on using the booklet, The Mystery of Human Life.
Some who care for the young people and college-age saints are welcome to assist during these workshops. Space is limited to the first 100 saints, on a first come, first served basis. All materials will be provided. Spanish translation will be available in the college-age workshop only.
The church in Irving and the Living Stream Ministry would like to open the church meeting hall and LSM Branch office in Irving for a time of visitation, blending, and refreshments on Lord’s Day, May 24, from 2:00–4:00 PM, located at 3600 Esters Road, Irving, 75062. Many saints came from all over the earth to prepare this meeting hall and office for Brother Lee between 1980 and 1982. The first three terms of the full-time training in the United States were held here from 1988-1989. The English Recovery Version of the Bible, The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, as well as many other books were prepared and printed in the Irving Branch Office. During that time many children grew up in the hall as dear companions while their parents served the Lord. Many of these have continued to serve the Lord as adults. We are grateful to the Lord for the work He has done in Irving and to the saints that have come to serve here over the years.
