Hi friends, consider this fact, often overlooked. Nowhere in the Scripture do we find a command to start a church or to plant a church. But rather, we meet as the church.
Yes, Word and Power Ministries, God will add the increase. Elsewhere, we read that others were added to the church - never that a new church was founded, started, or planted.
This is significant, in my opinion. The focus was clearly on evangelism and serving others. Then, after the conversion of others - they simply met as the church. I say simply because this method of organic growth is much simpler than being overly concerned if we have enough members or leaders or a permanent place to meet.
