As the Advent season unfolds, churches and ministries within the World Olivet Assembly's global network of pastors and missionaries are seizing this distinguished time to expand their mission efforts. With hearts set on the message of Jesus Christ-the first missionary sent by God-our united vision is to bring the gospel to every corner of the world.
As the calendar turns to December, the World Olivet Assembly reflects on the season of Advent with hearts full of reverence and gratitude. This season invites all believers to meditate deeply on the profound grace of the birth of Jesus Christ, God's only Son, and to cherish anew the richness of His fullness. The Advent season is a precious opportunity to draw near to the Lord, embracing the mystery and majesty of His incarnation, while fervently sharing this truth with those around us.
For churches within the World Olivet Assembly, Thanksgiving is a cherished opportunity to reflect on the immeasurable goodness of God and to unite as a global community of believers. Rooted in faith and service, World Olivet Assembly congregations around the world gather to celebrate this day with worship services, acts of generosity, and testimonies recounting the Lord's blessings. Thanksgiving becomes not merely a tradition but a heartfelt expression of gratitude for God's enduring provision, grace, and love.
The Christian faith is marked by a unique and profound rhythm: grace, gratitude, and praise. At the core of this faith lies the unmerited favor of God, a gift so freely given that it defies human understanding. Scripture declares, "For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace" (John 1:16, ESV). This grace is not a result of human effort or merit; it is entirely the work of a loving God who reaches out to humanity through Jesus Christ, offering forgiveness, redemption, and life eternal.
