The changing shape of church

I've been doing a bit of browsing on the internet this afternoon.

A recent post on Martin Scott's blog tells of a research that suggests there are 111 million Christians outside of local church. The question asked is, 'Are they all in rebellion - or is there a (God) movement taking place?' Martin Scott is a very respected prophetic voice and he suggests a number of books on the subject. You can read his post by clicking on my links and on his blog for the post 'Books - or an excuse to ramble'.

I have also read how the church in China is sending out thousands of missionaries in twos to Muslim countries. And a report by Chris Mitchell on
  • CBN news
  • tells of hundreds of thousands of Muslims accepting Christ. You can click on the link to watch a video of the report. Many come to know Jesus through the internet and others have had dreams about Jesus.

    Another website I like is http://www.god.tv/ It was founded by Rory and Wendy Alec.

    The shape of church is changing!

    Thanks for the links, I'm on my way to check them out. I have also heard about God moving in China. A great book on the subject is Heavenly Man and Back to Jerusalem.
    Blessings...

    Thanks Shane. Hope you find the links useful. I have watched the God TV a few times through my PC as I can't get it on my TV.
