NBC NEWS Reports on House Church Movement

(Reposted in part from www.StoriesfromtheRevolution.blogspot.com)

More and more the media is catching on to the house church movement. This week (10/21/10), Brian Williams on NBC's Nightly News reported that, at a time when the Crystal Cathedral in California is filing for bankruptcy, 9% of American Protestants now attend only house church. This is an estimated 6-12 million people. (See the video below.)

Although not reported on the program, this represents growth at an unprecedented rate. Even 10 years ago, house churches were almost unheard of in this country. The percentage of Protestants attending only house church was certainly under 1%.

And, no one (no human, at least) is behind this major shift in the American spiritual landscape. It wasn't launched by Rick Warren or Bill Hybels. It wasn't planned by the Southern Baptists or by Campus Crusade. It is simply a spontaneous move of the Holy Spirit to return the church to the way church was practiced in the New Testament.

This is the journey our family has been on for several years now.  Learn more about it www.midsouthchurch.org.

With nearly 10% of Protestants following this path, it’s great to see a mainstream media outlet giving some good attention to what we do—Ruben
