Essential resources from our brother John White:

I want to alert you to two resources that I believe you will find very helpful on your simple church journey…

The first is a new book by our friends and LK10 members, Tony and Felicity Dale.  It’s called The Rabbit and The Elephant: Why Small is the New Big for Today’s Church and it’s co-authored by George Barna.  I’ve read a pre-publication version of the book and I think it’s excellent!  It gives the larger picture of what God is doing through the simple (rabbit) church movement but also gives lots of practical advice (rabbit food) on how these churches can thrive and multiply.  See the attachment for the first chapter of the book…

Here’s a link to the book on Amazon: http://bit.ly/DFD3k

The second great resource is The 2009 National House Church Conference which is in Dallas over the Labor Day Weekend.  In addition to the teaching and worship in large group settings, there will be the opportunity to sign up for one of about 10 tracks.  The LK10 Track will allow us to get to know other LK10 members, to explore in depth how simple churches can be truly transformational and to discuss how regional networks are being developed.

So, I want to encourage you to ask the Lord if he wants you to join us in Dallas.  (Early bird registration for the best price ends on June 8th).  Please also consider attending the Network Leaders Meeting which is the day before the Conference.  For more information and to register for both events, go to http://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=721026

Hope to see you in Dallas!

Your brother,

John

John White discusses how praying Luke 10:2b led to starting Lk10.com, a community of practice for house church planters. This is part two of two discussions with John.

In this video, John White discusses how “ask the Lord of the harvest…to send out workers” became a prayer around which house church leaders united. The results? Well have a listen!

There is a group of leaders from house church networks around Colorado that meet monthly. It seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit to begin to capture the stories of God’s hand at work. We would love to hear your feedback about these videos, or click “Contact Us” to tell us about stories we should get on tape!
