“Take from among yourselves a heave offering to Jehovah; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it” (Exo. 35:5a). “The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to Jehovah, every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work” (Exo. 35:29a). This week we conclude the series titled, "Taking the Initiative," with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on the function and consecration of every member of the Body, and a testimony from brother Peter Yu. This is part one of message two from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015. The original message was spoken with side-by-side English to Chinese translation which was edited out for brevity, thereby affecting the cadence of the speaking.
