Weekly fellowship

Report from Spring College Conference

During the weekend of April 18th, the Spring College Conference was held, bringing together students from across Southern California. The topic of the conference was “The Purpose of the Ages.” Over 667 attendees participated, including 48 students from Irvine.
Throughout the conference, we saw a view of the purpose of the ages, the church, and how God’s purpose should become our purpose. We touched the seven aspects of the church in Ephesians, with a burden that we would pray to receive a spirit of wisdom and revelation and for our eyes to be enlightened that we would see the church. The matter of the Body was opened to us, seeing how the church is not an organization but an organism that is growing into the Head in all things, and how we need a personal, loving relationship with the Lord. Lastly, we touched on the practical way for the church to be built, by the operation in the measure of each one part. There was encouragement that in our day-by-day church life, we would learn to function and prophesy to be perfected.

Excerpts from Brother Frank Prano's Update in France - March 26, 2025

Brothers, praise the Lord and the Head of the Body!

A few days ago I started to feel that I should remain in Toulouse. After fellowship with the brothers here and in Paris, I decided to stay until the Francophone conference on April 24th. They all confirmed that this is where I should be, one brother saying he had been praying that I would remain.

I think my portion from the Lord is well received by both the young people and the Spanish speaking saints. One Spanish speaking brother last night indicated that he needs more one on one fellowship, though he appreciates the meetings.

Of course there are more experiences of shepherding than expressed in these pictures. And besides those, the Lord is shepherding, perfecting, and exercising me in answer to my prayers to restore the years the locusts have eaten.
