The
seed has been sown, and the plant in God’s
farm has sprouted. Now, it is the time to
water and to fertilize the cultivated land
so that the Lord’s testimony can grow
and be built up. God’s eternal purpose
is not merely to gain a cultivated land
to grow Christ, but also to build up a spiritual
building as His habitation. For this building
process, Christ gave the gifted persons
(apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds
and teachers) for the perfecting of the
saints unto the work of the ministry, unto
the building up of the Body of Christ (Eph.
4:12).
Perfecting the Future Generations
With the goal of
building up the Body of Christ, Full-Time
Training Indonesia was established for
the perfecting of young people in the
direction of gaining better and more solid
new generations for the continuation of
the Lord’s testimony in Indonesia.
Through this training, a young generation
is prepared, perfected, equipped, and
constituted with the truth according to
the pure divine revelation in the Scriptures
and even cultivated a proper human character
that they may be useful vessels in the
Lord’s hands, becoming the gifted
persons and God’s fellow workers
to spread the Lord’s testimony in
every place and build up the Body of Christ
to consummate the New Jerusalem.
Blending and
Building up the Saints Together in Coordination
In the Full-Time Training, young people
from various localities, regions, and
tribes are blended together, learning
to coordinate with one another, and living
out the reality of the corporate living
in the Body as 1 Peter 3:8-9 said: “And
finally be all of the same mind, sympathetic,
loving the brothers, tenderhearted, humble-minded;
not rendering evil for evil or reviling
for reviling, but on the contrary blessing
one another, because you were called to
this, that you might inherit blessing.”
This lays a good foundation for the blending
and coordination in order to build up
the Body of Christ locally and universally.
Bringing the Churches into Fellowship
both Regionally and Universally
The Full-Time Training
in Indonesia also brings the sweet fellowship
among the local churches in this country
to enable the saints to participate and
share in the propagation work, prayers,
and financial support for the Lord’s
work. In the other side, since the FTTI
was established, fellowship with the many
Full-Time Training centers in various
countries and overseas churches are also
maintained so that many co-workers visit
the churches in Indonesia regularly, even
now the saints in Indonesia also visit
the churches in other countries often.
This condition brings in the circulation
of all the blessings and riches of the
Body of Christ, which cause the Body life
to become rich and sweet, both locally
and universally. Thus, the churches in
Indonesia become an important part in
the building up of the Body of Christ
and in the propagation of His Kingdom.
