thanks for the site, i checked it out of curiosity as i've just left a local 'church', i met up with someone earlier today, listed on your site, who lives a short way away in Cape Town, we have so much in common, i just thank God for the internet.
I'm a new comer to home church so if there's advise i'd welcome it.
Our thanks ultimately goes to God who endows us with life and breath. Thank YOU for dropping by.
Prepare for a great adventure as you begin to meet as the church and feel free to make all the mistakes which can be made. God is not going to let you loose.
WELCOME in Jesus' name! Share with us when you can.

i'd like to share my story if that's ok. I was rather radically saved by the roadside after a near death head on car accident during 2004, i rolled my jeep 6 times over. The para medics came by my vehicle and said 'let's go to the other vehicle, there's no way this one survived'. Broken boned i laid in the bush waiting for the darkness to consume me, i was ready, i was at that stage, humbled to 'nothing'. Instead, i felt an embrace from behind and heard God say, 'i want you to live'.
I woke up in hospital the next day holding my wife of today's hand and all i/God said was, 'we moving to Cape Town' i lived in Johannesburg at the time, 2000km away. We/God moved us within 2 months lock, stock and barrel. I'd lived there for 12 years and my business stayed behind, i commute up and down now. I gave my life to the Lord 4 days after leaving the hospital, needless to say the angels gave me no choice during those 4 days but that's another miracle in itself.
We found a cosy little church with wonderful people and friends and a pastor very passionate about God. A year and a bit ago God showed me a vision of starting a Tuesday night get together at my house for the saved but mainly for the unsaved. Soon the group became rather large and the stuff that happened was incredible, from saving people to slain spirits, to healing including a relative from terminal cancer once the doctors sewed him up and gave him 6 months to live, to incredible spiritul presence, etc...
These meets became church and the pastor and a few of us started to clash. After 3 months of continual instability in the church i heard God tell me to stop being a man pleaser, that the pastor had church and not kingdom vision. A month ago we eventually had our exit meeting and i was told by the pastor that he kisses no body's feet to stay, i will fall out of love, lose money and suffer emotionally. I rebuked him and asked for his blessing to leave which obviously i did not get.
The pastor requested i not contact the church people for the Tuesday meets which i did not. The few that left the church, we carried on and have had incredible times over the past month. God has sent so many broken people our way day and night that we are actually mentally exhausted. We have had 2 Sunday home church meets which needs a bit of polishing so really any help is welcomed, we don't want to take control but at least need a plan.
We are radical christians and have dealt extensively on topics of surrender, walking in the spirit, hearing God's voice, judgement and my favourite -hypocritical christians vs christ like servants. Thanks for letting me share and God bless to all.
