After breakfast, there was a group Bible study on Ephesians 3. My group (group no. 10) led by Shepherd Paul Sambucco had a fellowship among Deborah Lee of Shipensburg, Gloria Choo of Arlington, Walter Nett from Germany, Ruth Kille (a Taiwaneese, the wife of Pastor Russel Kille of Toledo UBF), Wesley Jun of Lehi, Rebecca Sung (from Anam UBF, Korea) of London Canada, and myself.
Shippensburg has recently purchased a house which they call "Fellowship House" which consists of worship hall downstairs and common life space upstairs.
From the group Bible study I was reminded of the grace of God by which a servant of the gospel is equipped. Paul says in v. 7 he became a servant of God by the gift of God's grace. He also states in v. 16 members of His church get equipped with the power by the Holy Spirit. The title of the lecture (Ephesians 3), "Be filled to the fullness of God" further suggests this way of empowerment being the case.
What Paul prays for the Gentiles is that inasmuch as God chose to save the Gentile believers through faith in Jesus, all Gentile believers ought to go for the will of God that is to let them get filled with Christ making them be filled to the fullness of God.
