Paul's epistle to the Colossian believers presents a panorama of Christ. This Christ is not merely an objective Christ, but He is Christ our portion, Christ in us, and Christ our life (Col. 1:12, 27; 3:4). As those who have received Christ, Paul charges us to walk in Him and to be rooted and built up in Him (Col. 2:7-8).

How much do you walk and live in this Christ? How deeply rooted are you in Him? And how built up are you with others in the Body of Christ? The revelation of Christ in Colossians helps us to advance from a shallow Christian life into a life that is deeply hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3).

If you aspire to make such an advance in your Christian life, we invite you to attend the 2010 Summer College Training. This training gathers hundreds of like-minded college students for an intensive week-long pursuit of “Christ our portion.” You will be helped to absorb the riches of Christ through rich ministry messages, complemented by personal study in the Word, small group fellowship sessions, and practical gospel applications.

Purpose of the Training top

“But flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” –2 Timothy 2:22

The goal of the Summer College Training is to perfect God-loving and Christ-pursuing college students in the areas of biblical truth, experience of life, gospel preaching, and character development, all with a view to molding them into useful vessels in the Lord’s hands for the building up of His Body.

The training provides a sanctified atmosphere in which young people receive spiritual infusion through ministry messages, group fellowship, and individual study. All teachings in the training are based upon the ministry of the Lord’s recovery. Corporate and personal prayers and various life practices are strongly emphasized. In addition, trainees also have the opportunity to blend with their peers from across the nation and some foreign countries. This seven-day training will render untold benefit to a college student whose heart seeks first the kingdom of God!
