HOUSECHURCH

Over 2000 years ago, on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples, and 3000 souls from every nation under heaven were baptised, and a global church was born (Acts 2:1-5; 41). Within a space of 30 years, the gospel reached from Jerusalem to Judea (Acts 8:1); Samaria (Acts 8:5-12); to Gaza, where the Eunuch was baptized by Philip (Acts 8:26-40), Ethiopia (Cush), Egypt in North Africa; (Acts 18:24 ) to Damascus; Syria and Arabia (Acts 9:19); Babylon (1Peter 5:13) to Iraq, Iran; Turkey in Asia (Acts 19:8-10); to the Roman empire (Rom. 16th Chap.); to the Greek empire (Acts 17th Chap.); from Macedonia (Acts 16:12) and Illyricum (Rom. 15:19,20) to Europe and the Jews in the diaspora – in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. (1Peter 1:1) How did this happen? Not by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit, says the Lord. (Zech. 4:6). Shalom!
