I'm not part of a house church; but I've read the 'Wild Goose' article & have been interested in the NT house church teaching. I like the idea of Restoring the NT church.
Thank you; you're 2026 Update sounds like an amazing endeavor & I'm sure it will benefit many people❗🙏🏻
I watched the video on your homepage. You were so humble & vulnerable & you said so many good things.
I suspect you heard of Dr. Tad Wadsworth. I've been watching his channel on YouTube & he also comes from a Restorationist background. His work is excellent too.

Larry and I look forward to seeing how God will use your efforts in this season. It is amazing how God is moving through our house church here in Sicily. We look forward to learning more from your experiences.

Since we spoke with you last summer, when we were just thinking of starting a home fellowship, God has worked in amazing ways. It has been nothing short of a miracle. God has done immeasurably more than we could have asked or imagined. I am truly blown away. I wrote a series on my blog about the lessons learned. It was useful talking to you and Barbara, as well as Steve Staten, Mitch Mitchell, Matt Dabbs, the Luke 10 network, reading John Sherwood's material, and also reconnecting with a friend of ours here in India, who facilitates a vast network of tens of thousands of micro-churches (house churches) with around half a million people. The culture here is well suited…

Sounds great, John. I'm sure God will use you and Barbara to help many others in this next stage of your life. I don't know if you know Jon Sherwood, but he is friends with a House Church network similar to what it sounds like you are describing, and you may enjoy having a conversation with him about it. Message me if you'd like his number. God bless you in this next exciting adventure, and may he use you to help many others. Love you guys!
