Hello housechurchfreaks in Arizona,
I just served around on your website Arizona housechuch- network and I felt at home. It is amazing to find out that all over the world a new time of church has began. And I feel very familiar with all the thinking and the way of churchlife you have.
My name is Richard and I life in Essen, a city in a 6 mil. area near Cologne, Düsseldorf,Dortmund, it is called the Ruhr Valley.
I`m part of a housechurch and a network of house churches their since 2002. Ì´m fulltime involved to work for the vision of house churches in my region and in Germany. (www.taube-lebensdienst.de)
In the past years we had several seminars and housechuch days with, Wolfgang Simson, Neil Cole, Dick Scoggins and others. Next weekend we will have Keith Smith (OFI- ministries) on a house church conference.
So we got al lot of good international input. I`m glad to see how many house church networks you have in USA. In Germany we are in the beginning.
These days my team is working on a new website where you can see, what is going on in Germany, Austria and Swizzerland.
(www.hauskirchen.de) We want to build a new platform for connecting, information and communication about housechurches in the germanspeaking countries. Also we will bring, on the second level, an international view.
Many greetings to your fellows from germany. God bless you.


Richard Schutty
