An advance usually centers around a specific theme in the Bible. It may also be open to a specific group of people, for example a singles’ advance or married couples’ advance or youth advance or central area advance. It’s frequently a weekend-long event and is different from a class or teaching series because the believers live and stay overnight at the location of the event, eating together, living together, and spending their free time fellowshipping together, in addition to the teaching times. Camps are often longer than advances and also include staying overnight.

2023 Atlanta Fall Advance – Freedom in Christ

“Freedom in Christ” was the theme of this weekend-long Advance held outside of Atlanta, Georgia with the theme verse being Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”  We learned about what Christ accomplished for us and because of that we can walk in true spiritual freedom. As we accept the liberty that we have in Christ, we can then put our focus on our commitment to service and outreach; this privilege to serve and speak the Word helps others to be able to enjoy the same incredible freedom that we have.

2022 Atlanta Fall Advance – Standing on the Promises of God

A couple hundred believers gathered at the Inn at Stone Mountain Park outside Atlanta, Georgia on October 7-9, 2022. The theme verse for the Advance was Romans 4:21, “And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”  We were encouraged to know, claim, confess, and act on the promises of God.  Many promises were shared that God has freely given by His grace.  We learned to be doers of God’s Word and not hearers only. We should confess what God says as His Word is the truth.  We can use the name of Jesus Christ as our authority to utilize all that God has given us, and we can apply God’s Word in our everyday situations.  Abraham is given as an example of one who believed God, and in the Scriptures he is called, “the father of all them that believe”.

2022 Youth Advance – Be Strong in the Lord

The 2022 Youth Advance was a three day event at the end of the summer for believers ages 12 through 20s focusing on God’s Word, fellowship, and fun. 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 Ephesians 6:10: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Some of the things that were emphasized were how God wants the absolute best for His kids because of His love and care for us and how being strong in the Lord and in his mighty power equips us to take a stand for him in this world.

2021 Online Advance – A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like a Medicine

In the second year of the COVID pandemic, with the lockdown restrictions making it impossible to gather in person for our advances, we offered an online advance on a topic that was very needed – A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like a Medicine. It turned out to be a groundbreaking event for various reasons, beginning with reaching more people than any previous event. Participants totaled 665 believers across 27 U.S. states and territories and 14 countries. It was also the first event at which almost 60% of the participants came from outside of our “home area” of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, with a third coming from outside of the U.S. And, although we normally do simultaneous translations of Advance sessions into Spanish, this was the first time we had a leader from another country teach in Spanish and have it translated simultaneously into English for the other participants. All of the teachers were present together at the Fellowlaborer house with the exception of Luis Mero who taught from Ecuador. Coming at a crucial moment, the teachings resulted in a great blessing to people in many places and increased outreach in the months that followed.
