Dear brothers and sisters,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 1:3)

The "2025 North America Chinese-speaking Saints Perfecting Training," hosted by the North America Chinese-speaking Work (NA-CSW), is intended for the perfecting of saints who desire to pursue the Lord, that they may be equipped, strengthened, and built up in truth, life, and service. The subject of this training is: "Go and Bear Remaining Fruit."

The training will be held in two phases:

• Phase 1 (East Coast) will take place from Wednesday afternoon, July 23, 2025, to Sunday noon, July 27, 2025, at the Penuel Camp in New York.
• Phase 2 (West Coast) will be held from Wednesday afternoon, July 30, 2025, to Sunday noon, August 3, 2025, at the church in Cerritos meeting hall in Southern California.

We earnestly encourage the saints to set aside time to attend both phases of the training in full. In particular, we encourage younger and middle-aged saints to participate in person. If participation in person is not feasible due to practical reasons, saints may register for the online training instead. The deadline for both in-person and online registration is Sunday, June 29, 2025. All saints should register directly online by filling out the "2025 North America Chinese-speaking Saints Perfecting Training Registration Form." For more details, please visit: NA-CSW.ORG.

In addition, each locality should assign one saint to be responsible for handling registration and payment matters and submit the "Locality Registration Coordinator Form" online by Lord's day, May 25, 2025.
