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:
