Short Introduction
Hi All,
Just a short introduction. People ask me how long I have been doing house church. I have been a Christian 30 years and I have always been in churches that had small groups. In 1999 after being in Argentina with Ed Silvoso's "lighthouse" training a good friend gave me Wolf Simpson's book "Houses That Change The World". Like many people, I have never read the entire thing, but what I did read changed my thinking about "church". I started searching for others who were meeting in more non-traditional expressions of fellowship and found quite a few.
Since then I have been involved in all sorts of different expressions of community. In 2006 I married Keith. Later that year we were ask by some friends of his in Germany to consider living in Germany and here we are.
(it was not really that easy but the stories to long to tell)
It has been a great journey. It is our desire to encourage anyone who is seeking a more relational way of community.
Healing Communities also has a network you can find

Faith, Community, Mission
We may live far apart, but we are a community built in, through, and with the indwelling Christ. Our worship is a sacrifice of time, given to know Him intimately. We each serve, minister, and express our Lord Jesus, who is the only Head. Let us be known simply by our love for each other, in anticipation of when every knee will be bent in His Kingdom. And, let us follow the earthly mission Jesus began and passed to His followers to “preach goods news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, recover sight to the blind, let the oppressed go free, and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
We are here to support, confront and clarify each other's place as aliens in the world but not of the world. Est: Nov, 2008.

You are so fearless and lovely like the lion on this sweet page! Thank you for challenge as well as support and clarity. I know you can't split your time too much, so just mark the threads you want to follow. I'll be seeing you on Healing Communities anyway! I appreciate it when mature Christians have time to stop by and guide us!
Gratefully,
Nik
