prayer walking produces results
Here in Bath we have been prayer walking, together with various other activities and community involvements in one particular area of the City for around ten years. We know too that others had prayer walked through this area in previous years. It is an area full of all the usual social problems similar to those in any large outer-city estates.

We have prayed constantly for three specific things; 1. That God would raise up and send labourers, willing workers, into this needy area to bring his harvest in. 2. That He would raise up men and women of peace (Luke 10) who would be ready to receive those workers and the message they bring. 3. And we have prayed blessing on the community, house by house, family by family, on the 2 schools and the few businesses. For Gods kingdom to come and be established in all of them.

This week I discovered that several christian families have recently moved onto this estate and there are others close by, all with a call and vision to reach out, make disciples and start simple home churches on this estate!

They have already found 2 people of peace and the main leader has been invited into the local primary school to do a second assembly at Easter. God has answered our prayers!

Something is happening across Britain today: a new kind of church is beginning to appear; increasing numbers of christians (recent research suggests between 40 & 100,000) are starting to gather in homes, colleges and work places. Living out a 24-7 faith, they are missionally focused with a 'go to them' dynamic instead of a 'come to us' invitation. These communities are small, fluid, organic, reproducible and most of all simple; so simple that any believer would respond by saying "I could do that!"

The aim of this site is to connect, report and resource these new groups. If you'd like to know more check out the vision page.
