Dear Brothers,
We would like to announce the upcoming International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones. The training will begin at 9:00 on Thursday, 24 September 2026, and conclude at 19:00 on Saturday, 26 September 2026. The training will be held at the RAI Amsterdam, Elicium Ballroom (entrance D), Europaplein 24, 1078 GZ, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
In order to continue this gathering in the way of training, we require that all attendants register and submit a donation through Lebensstrom. The International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones is for only elders and responsible ones. All registrants must be recommended by the elders in their locality. We respectfully ask that sisters not apply. Please see the attached letter regarding who should participate in the ITERO. We hope that through such perfecting times, the Lord will make us all able ministers of the New Testament, effective building material for the universal building up of the Body of Christ, and good stewards and serving ones in our respective local churches.
A blending meeting will be held after the conclusion of the ITERO in Amsterdam on 27 September 2026 at the Novotel Amsterdam City. For more detailed information regarding the blending meeting please visit: iteroamsterdam2026.com.
