A Church was born in our living room yesterday. I was out at one of our Chinese churches speaking when it happened. This church is entirely made of women, Filipinos who have come to Hong Kong to work as domestic helpers. One of them, Caroline, accepted Christ yesterday.
This Church does not yet have a name, a place to meet or a pastor. Please pray for this new baby.
John Eldredge: Waking the Dead: The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive
Eldredge's first book "Wild at Heart" was both popular and quite controversial. His 2nd book is less controversial and more helpful. My review and reading notes are available at http://books-that-rock.blogspot.com/
Neil Cole: Organic Church: Growing Faith Where Life Happens
Some friends pointed out to me that Neil Cole has been involved in some controversial theological movements in the US. The focus of this book is church life and church planting. I recommend it to those who want to know more about the house or simple church movement.
We have been in Venezuela 20 years. Loved finding your blog.

I am in Taiwan and am enjoying reading your insights. Small groups are such a great way to go, and absolutely the baby which will become something wonderful. God bless. Praise God for new baby-Christian Caroline, too.

Thanks for the encouragement. The ladies are self organized without any direction from me. They have formed teaching teams, worship teams and teams to take care of practical things like set up and lunch preparation. It's a joy to watch them serve and grow. Allan
