VISION: The vision is to start and encourage the building of kingdom-focus communities, (Christians identifying with the life of Christ, living in relationships within a community and impacting society) using the HC structure which is easily reproducible, with a focus of bringing the church to the masses.
Different venues can be used such as homes, karaokes (cheap, accessible and easily avaiblable), restaurants, music studios, clinic’s rest apartment and any facility available without incurring huge financial costs. House churches can be started at any time and in any place. The philosophy is in simplifying the church and bringing it to where the people are.
LOCAL LEADERS: Japanese Christians are encouraged and empowered to lead and run each of the above HC with mentoring help from the missionaries as well as local Christian leaders. Leaders of all the HC (pic below) come together monthly for mutual encouragement and sharing of goals and ideas in expanding the work.
House church leaders and missionary staff - training and partnering
Each HC has the basic components of Worship, the Word (BS or message), Prayer and Outreach. Members are encouraged to meet up with non-Christians or Christians in Life-Groups or LTG, consisting of 2 to 5 people for evangelistic BS or discipleship. All the HC would come together once in 2 months for a CELEBRATION SERVICE to praise God and encourage each other.
