In this second Married Couples’ Night 0f 2026, 30 couples gathered on a Saturday night at the Fellowlaborer House, with more than 100 more connected online for an evening of fellowship and teaching. The teachings were simultaneously translated into Spanish so that couples in South America could participate also. There was one main teaching covering some things about communication, and then there was an opportunity for people to ask any questions they had about anything related to marriage.

The theme of our second Florida Advance was Colossians 2:2: “That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ” and highlighted the different parts of that verse: the comfort of God, the love of God, having a knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, and the unity that comes from the Mystery. The fact that the majority of the believers present from across Florida and other states were either native Spanish speakers or bilingual in English and Spanish led to an unusual feature of this weekend. The Saturday and Sunday morning sessions were conducted in English with simultaneous translations into Spanish, while the Saturday evening session was conducted in Spanish with simultaneous translation into English. (For the sharings in Spanish here on the website we have provided a written translation in English.)

This event consisted of an afternoon with two teachings for adults with separate children’s fellowships going on at the same time, breaks to allow the believers time to fellowship together, refreshments, a bookstore, and a dinner after the teachings were over. It was an opportunity for the believers from fellowships throughout Northern New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut to be together.

The 2025 Atlanta Fall Advance took place over a weekend, from October 3rd through the 5th, at Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The theme for the weekend was “Seated in the Heavenlies”. Ephesians 2:6: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” As born again believers, we can walk out boldly on all that God made available for us in Christ. We were made alive, raised up, and seated in the heavenlies together through him. How blessed we should be to be able to live this freely, knowing that our citizenship is in heaven.

The 2025 Youth Advance was a four-day event at the end of the summer for believers ages 12 through 20s. It took place at a camp called New Life Island located on an island in the Delaware River and included meals and overnight housing. The theme verse was Romans 10:17: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The topic of the Advance was “Believing”, and what we do or do not believe is of the utmost importance in this life. The goal was for everyone to build believing and God’s Word in their lives. It was a time of fellowshipping, laughing, and believing God’s Word together.

In this first of two Married Couples’ Nights for 2025, 40 couples gathered on a Saturday night at the Fellowlaborer House, with more than 100 more connected online for an evening of fellowship and two teachings, one by Mrs. Diane Carr and the other by Rev. Joe Armstrong. The teachings were simultaneously translated into Spanish so that couples in South America could participate also. The topics, both very practical, were designed to meet important needs and were handled with love, insight, humor and clear examples.
