2025 Memorial Day Blending Conference – The Preparation of the Bride
“Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” (Rev. 19:7)
The Bible is a romance, in the most pure and the most holy sense, of a universal couple—God in Christ as the Bridegroom and God’s redeemed people as the bride—the goal of the Lord’s recovery.
The Lord’s primary work in the recovery is His genuine work to prepare us to be His glorious bride; apart from the continual, dispositional sanctification spoken of in Ephesians 5:26, there is no way for the bride to be prepared and, hence, no way for Revelation 19:7-9 to be fulfilled.
As used in the New Testament, the word mature refers to the believers’ being full-grown and perfected in the life of Christ, which they received at the time of regeneration.
The Lord’s recovery is for the preparation of the bride of Christ; ultimately, we will be conformed to be the wonderful Shulammite, who, as the duplication of Solomon, is the greatest and ultimate figure of the New Jerusalem as the counterpart, the bride, of Christ. (Key Statements, 2025 Memorial Day Conference)
Please pray for the digestion of the recent conference messages by all the saints, for them to refresh their love for the Lord Jesus, and for their cooperation with the Spirit to prepare the bride for the Lord’s coming.

The Lord continues to bless His move among us in France and Francophone Europe. At the end of April, over 370 saints gathered in person for the annual French-speaking blending conference in Paris, representing a significant increase over previous years. At least 52 new ones participated for the first time; many of them had been contacted during the gospel trips. The meetings were rich and enjoyable, and many new ones came to the microphone to share. Praise the Lord for the fruitful vine in French-speaking Europe!
In early May, saints from Paris and Brussels went to blend with the young working saints in Lille, where there is not yet a lampstand. The time began Thursday evening and concluded Saturday afternoon. Three messages were shared, all focusing on “our human spirit.” The saints enjoyed picnics together and a city tour led by a couple who had been baptized in Lille. On Friday night, 8 different small groups were formed and the saints enjoyed the Lord in the homes of local saints. There are plans for another blending time this fall.
Please pray:
- That the Lord would keep the new contacts in close fellowship with the local saints for the raising up of His testimony and the reality of the Body of Christ.
- For the Lord to raise up three new lampstands in France this year. Lord, what would You do concerning your testimony in Lille?
