New Testament Church Life

Over the years I've had the privilege of being introduced to ministries that seek to recover the community life that the New Testament Church experienced. Here are some representative links:

• Touch Ministries – This is a powerful ministry that serves the cell church movement.
• House 2 House – This web site provides resources for people in the simple/organic church movement.
• Simple Church – The web site facilitates interaction among people in the simple/organic church movement.
• Frank Viola – Frank is a leader in the house church movement and he writes prolifically about simple/organic church.
• Beyond Evangelical – This is Frank's blog.
• Present Testimony Ministry – This is Frank's official web site.

I also recommend the following books:
