Multiplying House Churches
One
of the Ten Universals of a Church Planting Movement (CPM) is
"multiplying house churches." This means that the CPMs observed are
characterized by house churches which are planting house churches. Most
of the churches are not begun by professional missionaries or local
church planters, but by the new believers themselves.
Jesus gave the command to make disciples to all believers (Matt.
2:18-20). He gave gifts to the church to equip all the believers for
ministry. "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the
work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ" (Eph 4:11-12).

- Pray for the house churches being planting among the Kuy people of Cambodia to be multiplying churches.
- Pray for the new believers to be so excited
about their salvation that they are eagerly telling their families,
friends and neighbors about Jesus.
- Pray specifically for the churches in the
villages of Snaur, Srae Thnong, O'Krouch, Phum Srae and Andas to be
multiplying churches.
PS. Exciting things are beginning to happen in the villages which have
been adopted for prayer. We would like to see more villages adopted. If
you have a small group who would like to pray on a regular basis for a
particular Kuy village, send us an email at
