Open Letter to the Leaders Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus. May His grace be with you as you seek His will for your life. May the Holy Spirit confirm to you the call of God on your life.
In our
days, when the Spirit of God is moving powerfully — like a flood — on the
earth, the church of Christ is growing very fast. As never before in the
history people are being saved by the thousand all over the world daily. “In
the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and
daughters will prophecy, your young men will see visions, your old men will
dream dreams” (Acts 2:17). This spiritual renewal is sweeping multitudes of new
believers into God’s kingdom. These new Christians desperately need spiritual
homes and spiritual families to grow and mature in their faith.
One of the aspects of this spiritual renewal is a
great interest in small group ministry as described in the New Testament. We at
Home Fellowship Leaders (NFL) see the home fellowships as a great God-given way
of nurturing these new believers toward spiritual maturity.
You can become a part of this mighty move of God by
becoming the leader of a home group. If you are a sincere believer who’s been
seeking for a vital way to serve God, this may be your unique opportunity.
We believe that the Holy Spirit will lead you into
all truth as you yield yourself to Him (John 16:12). We prepared these lessons as
a help to you, but you must rely and depend only on the One who is willing and
able to help you always. He alone has all the answers to all your questions.
If you already decided to lead a home group —
congratulations! Small groups (home fellowships, cells, house churches) have
been important in the progress of Christianity since the Book of Acts. Your
desire and hunger for Jesus will spark your home group — which in turn can
spark a neighborhood, business, college, or even a whole community!
If you are still not sure whether leading a home
group is for you — why don’t you just try? The fact that you asked for the literature
on home groups speaks of your sincere interest in it. If you believe the Lord
is calling you to lead a group — step out in faith!
If you see that leading the group doesn’t work for
you, don’t be discouraged. Do what you are good at! Maybe you speak another
language and can translate our
literature and lessons? Maybe you are an evangelist
who is good at bringing people into the kingdom, but not that good at being a
shepherd. Then start a group and turn it over to somebody else who is good at
shepherding the sheep. Be what God made you to be!
With much love,
Home Fellowship Leaders, International
