On today's edition of the "Knowing The Truth" radio program, we will discuss the subject of House Churches and Small Groups. Ambassador International is about to release a new book entitled "Welcome Home - A Practical Guide to House Churches, Small Groups, Home Fellowships or Whatever Else We Call Them"

"Unlike anything you may have read before on the subject, Welcome Home is a uniquely practical and soundly theological guide to nearly every aspect of house churches and small groups. Whether you are an elder of a large congregation with hundreds of small groups, a house church pastor, a church planter, or anyone at all interested in home fellowships, this book is sure to be an encouraging help to your ministry. By placing significant emphasis on developing leaders, Welcome Home maps out step-by-step ways to begin a house church ministry or to greatly improve existing small group programs. Drawing from solid, Biblical examples and over two decades of hands-on experience, Welcome Home sets a clear path for discipleship through home fellowships. The book also includes a CD containing various teaching outlines that may be printed freely for use as class materials." (Adapted from the Publisher Product Description)

Steve works as a short-term consulting/teaching pastor for churches around the U.S. and internationally, helping them with home fellowship ministries and leadership training.
