This weekend-long event for believers who attend fellowships in Northern New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut was held at The Hermitage in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. There were seven teachings on topics from God’s Word related to the Weekend’s theme, your walk with God, as well as time to pray with a partner, eat a meal together, and fellowship together. There was also children’s fellowship for kids between the ages of two and ten, simultaneous translations into Spanish of the teachings, and a bookstore.

This event consisted of an afternoon with two teachings for adults with separate children’s fellowships going on at the same time, a break to allow the believers time to fellowship together, and refreshments. It was an opportunity for the believers from fellowships throughout the Central Area of New Jersey to be together.

The 2024 Atlanta Fall Advance took place over a weekend, from October 4th through the 6th, at The Inn at Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The focus of the weekend was to take action in speaking God’s Word and manifesting power. The teachings during this weekend reminded us that we as believers are encouraged to speak the Word to ourselves, to those in the family of God, and also to reach out to those who have not yet believed. We have a living, powerful Word to share and we can and should share it boldly with the love of God.

The 2024 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 focus was on 2 Corinthians 5:20: “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” As believers, we are ambassadors for Christ, whether we feel like it or not, whether we act like it or not. We are what the Word of God says we are, so stand up and act like an ambassador. Nine different believers shared God’s Word including younger believers.

The theme for this 2024 Summer Camp was “OUTREACH”. We listened to teachings covering the tremendous topics in God’s Word on witnessing and undershepherding. We heard many practical keys to help us in the sharing of God’s Word and the “how” regarding the follow-up with people we have spoken God’s Word to. That’s the undershepherding part that is so exciting in our walks with our Heavenly Father. Everyone in this Body of Christ is needed. Our age, young or older, absolutely does not matter. God will work with anyone of any age who believes Him and His Word!

This event brought together the believers of the Northern Area (New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut) to celebrate Pentecost, the “birthday of the Church”. The day included two teachings from God’s Word – one about the background to Pentecost and the other about what we have as a result of it – as well as an emotional and inspiring sharing by Jim Daggon about how God brought him back to life and continues to heal him after a heart attack he suffered at the previous gathering, only four months before. The fellowshipping continued during the dinner that followed at this, our first time using the Warinanco Sports Center as a meeting location.
