God needs people who are willing to move

In Europe today there are around 200.000 cities and town with not even one evangelical church and all it would take is for someone to be willing to move, with the agenda of starting a church, and settle down.

Many of those who every Sunday sit in church listening to the preaching are more than able to start a church, but it’s more comfortable to receive than to give. Yes, we know that it’s more blessed to give, but still so many choose comfort rather than blessing.

Often we have an image of church that makes it almost impossible to get started. But you don’t need a building, choir, deacons, elders and an youth group to start a church. What you need is to be willing to open your home to people who would like to hear about God, study His word and worship. The church is all about people, and no matter if you would like to start a house church or a mega church you have to start somewhere.

You don’t need a degree in theology and you don’t have to be a preacher. What you need, is to be willing to study the word your self, encourage others to do the same, and then come together and share with each other what you have learned.
