New Cell Life

One of the things we have missed the most while being back in the U.S. is the cell church life we had in Taiwan. While desiring to have cells started here, we haven't felt like we had enough time to do something new. We thought we could handle the extra load of helping other core group leaders start the new Discover Christian Church that meets on the campus of Central Christian College on Sunday mornings with the hopes of starting various cell groups, but after training many potential cell leaders, we never had the time or energy to start our own cell group. We have recently relinquished our role with Discover and are attending Timber Lake Christian Church (formerly Union Avenue). Now we felt it was time to begin a cell in our home and we contacted 3 other couples who have also wanted to help. After meeting for the first time last Monday and praying for those we would like to reach out to, our second meeting brought 5 new contacts. In fact, we had 13 adults and 8 children attending in our living room! We have been very encouraged by this group of people already as they have been on the front line of encouragement through our adoption struggles of the last two weeks. That's what cell life/church life is supposed to be... carrying each others burdens and fulfilling the law of Christ.
