A Digital Newsletter from Living Stream Ministry
August 2023, Issue No. 23

Africa Ministry Depot (AMD) operates throughout Africa to distribute the ministry of Brothers Watchman Nee and Witness Lee in both English and local languages. It has recently participated in a book fair in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with encouraging results.
What was formerly Yugoslavia, consisting of six socialist republics—Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, broke apart in 1991. Formerly, this region shared the same official language—Serbo-Croatian. The breakup of Yugoslavia was accompanied by a bloody civil war from 1991 to 1995, and today these are six independent countries. What was formerly called the Serbo-Croatian language is now called Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian (BCS), and nearly eighteen years ago Living Stream Ministry began to translate our publications into BCS. The Lord has really operated richly through this translation work for His move in these countries.

God’s heart’s desire is only Christ. To simply understand that Christ is God’s Beloved and God’s delight is too shallow. The desire of God’s heart is entirely centered on Christ. According to the Bible, all that God wants to do, all that He has planned to accomplish and gain, is entirely related to Christ and for Christ. God’s intention is to work to such an extent that Christ will be expressed in all things, fill all things, and even be all things.
Philippians 2:12 says, “So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” What were the Philippians to obey? They were to obey Paul’s word regarding thinking the one thing and being joined in soul. The one thing that they were to think is the experience of Christ for the Body life.
