Home Churches

There is no church building in most of these villages. So the church meets where the people already are: in homes, courtyards and simple rooms, with the Bible open and believers gathered together.

The church that meets in homes

Twenty-five new home churches are planted every month across the Faisalabad district, the areas around Lahore and into Sindh, and the ones planted before them keep meeting. Pastors, disciples and ten motorcycle evangelists travel out to lead, teach and encourage them.

A home church needs very little: a Bible, someone to teach from it, and a family willing to open their home. It lets believers meet together in their own village, close to where they live and work.

“The church meets where the people already are.”

What happens in a meeting

Worship, the reading of Scripture, teaching from the Bible, and prayer for one another.

  • Worship and prayer together.
  • Teaching from the Bible in Urdu and Punjabi.
  • Prayer for the sick and for families in need.
  • Fellowship with other believers in the same village.

Why home churches

Home churches are simple, they can grow easily, and they keep new believers close to other believers. When a village has a home church, a new believer always has somewhere to go.
