Read MoreMedical Doctors and the House Church Movement
There’s a movement a’brewin and nobody is talking about it. This is what I am seeing . . . The house church movement seems to be finding more leadership from medical doctors than ministry professionals. Case in point: I was in Cambridge a few days ago with my good friend Dr Phuoc-Tan Diep. and his…
