What If An Entire City Switched to House Churches (Financial, Missional and Relational Impacts)
What if the church spent its billions on the poor and reaching the lost instead of empty buildings? Can you guess how much an average medium-sized city spends just to keep its churches running? Leave your guess in the comments before you reach the reveal in the video! In this video, I share a vision that shook me to my core: a return to the biblical house church model.
