Beginnings...

..."A few brothers went away to a place in the country...They received some light from the Lord and were willing to follow that light, but they did not know how. They shut themselves in a house and prayed together. When they had finished praying, the ground was wet from their tears. These men wanted to follow the love of the Lord. They could not keep themselves from following Him! They realized it would be a difficult way, a hard way. They felt themselves too weak to go on. They only thing they could do was come to go to the Lord and pray and weep. The love of the Lord is victorious! After prayer, these few people went out. They went village by village to preach the gospel. Not many years afterward--in that area--more than a hundred meetings rose up. The people the Lord blessed and used were not educated or special in the world's eyes, but they had an incomparable love for the Lord...

But that was then...this is now.

Now another group of people is needed.

A new people is needed. These people will be required to pay certain costs to return to the original way. You must decide if you are earnest about joining that throng who, in the past, have carried His testimony.

You must spend much time praying for the church...the church must be strong in spirit in order to closely follow the Lord!

May the Lord bless you for His Purpose.--an excerpt from Passing the Torch by James Chen concerning how the Little Flock (the house church movement in China) was born.
