"Let us consider
how to stir up
one another to
love and good works,
not neglecting to
meet together, as is
the habit of some,
but encouraging
one another."
Hebrews 10:24-25a
(ESV)

What is House Church?
A house church is a small church (usually less than 30 people) that meets together in someone’s home.
It does not have a paid preacher, but dedicated unpaid leaders.
Raj and his family attend house church every week.
You can experience house church in your Sunday school or mission group by following Raj’s house church example.

PRAYER:
Begin your house church service by praying that God will teach you during this time.
Take prayer and praise requests and ask a few different people to pray for the requests.
Learn how Kandy has learned to keep a Prayer Journal for prayer requests (click on icon at right).
For prayer requests from South Asia, see the MK prayer page.
BIBLE STUDY:
At Raj’s house church, very few people can read. Instead of reading the Bible for their lesson, they use storying.
This means that the leader tells the Bible story to the group, then asks questions about what can be learned from the story.
Then, two or three more people repeat the story so that they can be sure to remember it.

WORSHIP:
To begin your House Church, sing two or three praise songs together.
If there is a song that not everyone knows, sing it through a couple times so that everyone can learn it.
During house church, believers often give their testimony.
