Specifically, to a blog post by Maurice Smith who is in Spokane, WA. This post is important because it addresses the issue of the “infrastructure” of the house church movement. For some time now, many of us have been hearing something like this from the Lord: “A great harvest is coming. Now is the time to “lay pipe”. That is, to develop the “infrastructure” that will allow for a huge number of new believers to be well cared for and discipled. This infrastructure is mainly about leadership. A multitude of healthy spiritual moms and dads who can create healthy spiritual families (ie, churches).”

To do this, requires challenging some of the early values (Maurice calls them “maxims”) of the house church movement. Here are some examples: no organization, no leaders, no paid leaders, etc. Why must these things be challenged? Because “house church as we (or, at least some) have known it is preventing house church as God wants it”.

Developing this infrastructure is what The Luke Ten Community is all about. Our mission is to “Connect and equip house church leaders and house church planters around the world”. We do this through this blog, through our website, through CO2s (churches of two), through MRTs (regional apostolic teams and networks) and through the Apprenticeship process.
