In an earlier post (over a year ago) I mentioned a simple church that met in a pub. Recently I received this comment:
You might be interested in Christ Church Brighton, we have a meeting in a pub every Sunday evening.
The following website provides more information: http://www.christchurchbrighton.org.
Additionally, if you receive the Friday Fax (weekly from Wolfgang Simson-click here if you would like to subscribe), then you saw his article about simple churches being planted on college campuses and an evangelistic event that took place on the campus of UCLA:
This past Wednesday at UCLA we experienced a taste of heaven on earth, but it came with a cost. As we walked up onto campus there were thousands of students walking up and down Bruin Walk. Normally, we would sit at the patch of grass where there were not many onlookers (free speech area), but on Wednesday the main steps at the top of Bruin Walk were open - we took it by faith. As we sat on the steps we began to pray...
Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness, and doesn't he use apparently foolish things to confound the wise? So we stood there worshipping God, not so that the students would hear us, but so that God would hear us. It was difficult. We were distracted by all sorts of thoughts, and one of us felt sick. Despite that, we sang for two hours, until we sensed that the time had come to preach...
My voice threatened to fail me, but I sensed that God was there. More and more students stopped to listen - a group here, a group of Asian students there, another group of African American students who had been listening to music from their boom boxes only moments before. They all listened as I preached the Gospel; at least 120 students, for almost half an hour...
Read the full story here as well as other stories taking place on college campuses. You might also take a look at the rest of Jaeson Ma's website which is chock full of simple church principles along with an apostolic vision to reach his generation (13-30 year-olds) and plant churches throughout college campuses!
