ALTD and NITD co-hosted the Tres Dias International Assembly, held in Rockford on July 10-12, 2015.

The parade of banners, representing over 30 Tres Dias communities around the world, opened the 36th Annual Assembly. The theme of the Assembly was encouragement, based on Hebrews 10:26, "Let us consider how we can spur one another on to love and good deeds, encouraging one another."

Some of the highlights:

• Four new banners were present at the Assembly – Northern Illinois Tres Dias, Treasure Valley, Kansas City, and Colorado Front Range

• First time attendee from the community Holy Seed in Seattle (Charles Huh) came

• Kyiv, Ukraine was represented by Lesya Pasichnyk

• Prayer coverage was provided for the 72 hours of the assembly, represented Sat. night by the hosting community presenting a prayer scroll

• The silent auction of the six sock monkeys generated almost $600 for the Tres Dias Fund to help new communities

By the numbers:

2014               2015

93 present      116 present (+24%)

42 delegates  49 delegates (+16%)

51 observers   67 observers (+31%)

35 communities 34 communities (1 fewer)!

All in all, the assembly was a raving success.

Psalm 133:1 - "Oh how good and pleasant it is, when brothers live together in unity!"

Ready?  Set?  GO!  Preparations have begun for the ALTD Spring 2015 weekends.  The Men's Rector is Randy Rasmusson (head cha Chad Smits); Women's Rectora is Anita Rogers (head cha Dianna Peacock).  See the "Applications / Documents" page to download team and candidate applications.  

Please mark your calendars - our weekends for the next year (all at Inspiration Center, Walworth, WI) are:

Men's:

April 16-19, 2015; November 5-8, 2015

Women's:

April 23-26, 2015; November 12-15, 2015

It would be delightful to have a full slate of 30 candidates/pilgrims for each, with applications finalized and fees paid a couple weeks in advance.  This information will enable you to give LOTS of advance notice to the people you wish to sponsor!

Be praying about who God puts on your heart, and be bold in inviting / encouraging them to attend a weekend.  Direct them to the website to view our ALTD informational video on the Sponsor page.  God changes hearts on a Tres Dias weekend, but that can only happen if we - as community - INVITE and sponsor.
