With the Lent season commencing next Wednesday, March 5, 2025, the Olivet Assembly of Southeast Asia (OA SEA) churches are encouraged to initiate preparations for their Easter retreat, while committing themselves to deepen their understanding of the Cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ during the 40-day period.
At a time when many are wandering in the world not knowing the precious gift of salvation, the Lent season is a precious time to share the Gospel. In particular, prepared souls are to be guided to discover their urgent need for the Lord as they are being led to realize the depth of their sins, before being guided toward the path of salvation through clear explanation of justification that comes only by faith, and the understanding of sanctification and glorification.
Additionally, while meditating deeply upon the meaning of the Lord’s Cross and resurrection, OA SEA churches are to begin preparations for their Bible lectures that will be delivered during their upcoming Easter retreats, to explain deeply why did the Lord went on the path of the Cross, and how did His death and resurrection still impact our lives today.
May the Holy Spirit guide all OA SEA churches in their preparations for their Easter retreats, as they prepare to commence the 40-day Lent season with sincere hearts to understand and proclaim the deep meaning of the Lord’s Cross and the Good News of His salvation with many.
