The communities in which we live all suffer alienation from God and the sin, social disorder and brokenness that follows. As Christians, we yearn to see our communities saturated with the good news of Jesus Christ, but there are countless obstacles to overcome in our churches and mission agencies as we seek to fulfil this vision. In this book, Emerson Manaloto offers the model of New Testament-based house churches as the vehicle for gospel ministry in communities around the world with specific applications for the Filipino context. Examining four areas - leaders, learners, lessons, and locations - Dr Manaloto presents foundational principles of the New Testament that can be the basis for our own contemporary churches and ministry. Manaloto critically analyzes the house church in terms of its concepts in the first century, its context in the Greco-Roman world and its practices as outlined in the New Testament. This analysis is then used to draw conclusions for how twenty-first century small groups in the Philippines can be stable, mature, and multiply, resulting in the birth of more churches locally and globally, and the transformation of lives and communities as they encounter Jesus Christ.
EMERSON T. MANALOTO is an Associate Pastor of Greenhills Christian Fellowship (GCF) (www.gcf.org.ph) where he has served for twenty years. GCF is a megachurch situated in a highly urbanized city in Pasig, Metro Manila which birthed twenty-two daughter churches in the Philippines, and six in Canada. He is currently providing leadership and general oversight for creating small group venues for discipleship that lead to group reproduction and church planting. Aside from his experience in planting and leading churches, he has a DMin in Pastoral Leadership from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas, USA, and a passion for innovative, biblical methods of discipleship.
