A House Church Worker is…

1. A person who has the heart and lifestyle of a spiritual father or mother (1 Thes. 2:1 – 12). They function as local or itinerant simple church workers who seek to make others successful (Mt. 20:25-28). As to character, they reflect the lifestyle of an episkopos (overseer) in 1 Tim. 3.

2. A person who finds himself/herself passionate about the simple church Vision and Strategy and who is in the process of living that out. Probably already coaching at least 2 simple church leaders.

3. A person who is praying Luke 10:2b as close to daily as possible with a prayer partner. (ie, relentlessly beseeching the Lord of the harvest to thrust out harvest workers (church planters and men/women of peace) to your region or people group.) See Luke 11:5-10, 18:1-8 and Eccles. 4:9-12.

4. A person who is, at every opportunity, teaching other believers to obey the commandment found in Lk. 10:2b. (“Teaching them to obey all that I commanded you.” Mt. 28:20)

5. A person who feels called by God to a particular region (neighborhood, city, state, province, country, etc.) and/or people group (Hispanic, Russian, postmodern, etc.) This is the “John Knox” principle.

6. A person who is in relationship with the other associates in the Network on the local, provincial or national level. Communicating through email, conferences, etc. Available to help other regional Networks as the need arises.

7. A person who is both being coached and coaching other simple church leaders (or who desires to move toward this).
