Church Without Walls

For a year now i've not been attending the church i spent most of my life in. I got introduced to Jesus there. I got real hungry for the Word there. I served there. I was sent out as a missionary from there. I witnessed my peers get married and have families of their own there. I thought sunday school over 20 years there. i served in the youth fellowship as leader and stayed on and became their counsellor there..... Lots of memories

Then all of a sudden, a change takes place. Drastic, unimagined, sad even .... we, a group of us get the boot! But i see it now as God's doing. We had to get out. We were getting too comfortable and protected. It was time we moved. On our own, we wouldnt budge an inch. So, this was the only way. We never imagined something like this would have ever happened to our lives.

So, here we are..... now in a church without walls. We are not confined to one denomination nor one building, nor one group. We go around and visit. Of course, this arrangement is not permanent. We hope to find a fellowship we can be a part of but for now this is the arrangement for us.

and it has been good. We had a six month break and slowly opportunities to serve in capacities we wouldn't step out in earlier are coming in. So, we make ourselves available, as tools, to be picked up and used by our Maker!
