Concerning the Lord's Move in South America and 'Recovered to the Bible-Brazil'
April 24, 2009
To the saints and churches in the Lord's recovery,
We are writing to encourage your participation in the Lord's present move in His recovery in all of South America. We hope that all the saints will take this as a most serious and joyful opportunity and do their best to cooperate as one man for the Lord's interest in this part of the earth.
Brother Lee told us that there are three ways to participate in the Lord's move-by prayer, by giving and by going. For this very strategic move of the Lord in an area over which there has been and still is much spiritual warfare (see the co-workers' letter of fellowship and warning dated April 4, 2009, which is posted at www.afaithfulwitness.org), our intensified and persevering individual and corporate prayer during this time is crucial (Eph. 6:10). Concerning the Lord's Move in South America: We feel a particular burden that the saints and churches in South America could receive the supply of life and truth to be strengthened and recovered out of every influence of deviation, division, and isolation back into the one New Testament teaching and fellowship that is the rightful inheritance of all the local churches throughout the earth (Acts 2:42; 1 John 1:3). In such a supply of life and truth those who have been affected by these things can receive light to properly understand the situation and be recovered.
Over the past several years many saints and churches throughout South America have been revived and have returned to the New Testament ministry. These saints have been yearning for more fellowship in the Body and have been petitioning the co-workers to bring the New Testament ministry to their places. Although the co-workers have already been visiting many places in South America, since the co-workers' letter of April 4, the cry for visitation has increased. In response to the Lord's intensified move in Brazil, beginning in May co- workers will be traveling to many localities throughout that country to shepherd the saints and churches and to hold conferences to supply them with the Lord's up-to-date speaking in His recovery. Such a move of the Lord throughout South America can be expected to require a sustained burden of prayer, giving, and going over the next few years.
Recovered to the Bible-Brazil: Due to the recent publication of the Portuguese Recovery Version as well as the new and critical opening among the saints and churches in Brazil, we are burdened to 'rise up and take action' by sending small teams of saints to over 135 localities throughout Brazil. Together with the local saints these teams will dive into the present ministry, enjoy the common fellowship of the Body, and co-labor to spread the use and appreciation of the Recovery Version among the saints, the churches, and many new ones in Brazil. We believe that the going of the saints and their time with the loving seekers in Brazil will also do much to advance the Lord's interest, to strengthen and encourage these saints, and to restore a healthy circulation in the Body. Therefore, we are asking that saints from all over the earth would rise up to pray, give, and volunteer to go in one blended coordination to Brazil this July and August to carry out Recovered to the Bible-Brazil. A separate information letter and application form with this letter will give the details of the times, places, and qualifications to go.
Brother Witness Lee spoke often of using the Recovery Version of the New Testament for both preaching the complete gospel and building up the saints in the truth so that they may grow in life unto the building up of the Body of Christ:
The Lord has commissioned us with His recovery, and He has surely opened up the New Testament to reveal many dear and precious truths to us. What the Lord needs is for thousands of His dear saints who love Him, who live to Him, and who know nothing but His recovery to take one way. Regardless of whether the saints are from Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, England, Thailand, Indonesia, or the United States, we all bear the same burden, take the same way, and spread the same truths. We dispense the truths embodied in the 'gold bar,' the Recovery Version. We have no other merchandise! If we would be like this, the entire earth will be taken! (Witness Lee, Elders' Training, Book 8: The Life-Pulse of the Lord's Present Move, 1986, p. 114)
Brother Lee also spoke repeatedly of the openness and need in Central and South America, including Brazil:
Today Central and South America are completely open to the Lord's recovery. Even if we send up to a thousand full-time workers, still they would not be enough to meet the need of these places. (A Blessed Human Life, p. 63)
In addition to the intensified prayers of the Body and the going of many saints in coordination, there is the opportunity to participate in this move of the Lord by giving. There will be numerous and significant expenses involved with carrying out such a move in the Body which covers an entire continent. Immediate expenses include: costs of transportation, office space, conference and seminar facilities, food and lodging, translators, and literature. Donations for the Lord's move in South America, including for Recovered to the Bible- Brazil and other efforts, should be sent to:
The Church in Fullerton (South America account)
2411 West La Palma Avenue
Suite 223
Anaheim, CA 92831.
Or, for wire transfer: routing #: 026009593; Swift code (international): BOFAUS3N; account # 2163640789.
Let us all pray in one accord for:
1. The responsive 'Amen!' in all the saints throughout Brazil and all of South America to the co-workers' letter of fellowship and warning.
2. The responsive 'Amen' in prayer, giving, and going from throughout the recovery.
3. All the planning, preparation, and coordination required for the conferences, visitation, and Recovered to the Bible-Brazil.
On behalf of the co-workers,
