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.
• Simply Church – More resources for people involved 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.
