The call for “A Congress for the Christian Remnant” comes at a desperate time in the history of the world as well as of the Institutional Church. We are on the eve of the secret coming of Christ to the air to catch His saints away, and we are on the eve of the coming of Antichrist. The Church on earth has entered into a wholesale apostasy, and Fundamentalism is following in its wake. Today, only a remnant remain who are true to the Word of God. While scattered across the globe, they live with vexed souls amidst the political and religious darkness of our time. We are warned by the words of Amos 8:11, 12: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. Even though Christianity has reached the ends of the earth with Bibles translated into almost every language, yet we stand in the worst spiritual hour in the history of the Church. We are not in an “awakening” but in an “apostasy.” Only a remnant of God’s true people are to be found who are living for Christ and longing for His soon return— and the number is diminishing. Thus for the hope of encouraging the Remnant, we cordially invite you to attend “A Congress for the Christian Remnant” to be held on the campus of Foundations Bible College and Theological Seminary.

The call for “A Congress for the Christian Remnant” comes at a desperate time in the history of the world as well as of the Institutional Church. We are on the eve of the secret coming of Christ to the air to catch His saints away, and we are on the eve of the coming of Antichrist. The Church on earth has entered into a wholesale apostasy, and Fundamentalism is following in its wake. Today, only a remnant remain who are true to the Word of God. While scattered across the globe, they live with vexed souls amidst the political and religious darkness of our time. We are warned by the words of Amos 8:11, 12:

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

Even though Christianity has reached the ends of the earth with Bibles translated into almost every language, yet we stand in the worst spiritual hour in the history of the Church. We are not in an “awakening” but in an “apostasy.” Only a remnant of God’s true people are to be found who are living for Christ and longing for His soon return—and the number is diminishing. Thus for the hope of encouraging the Remnant, we cordially invite you to attend “A Congress for the Christian Remnant” to be held on the campus of Foundations Bible College and Theological Seminary.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches” (Rev. 3:20–22).
