People who can't afford internet are falling through the cracks while everyone else is arguing the pros and cons of live streaming.

Would Jesus really approve of His followers not preaching His gospel to the poor?

The has been a multitude of books written about house church over the past decade. Not to mention its in the bible.

How would a lost person know where to find a house church? Someone who is desperate because of their life's circumstance looking for help can easily find a church.

if churches are meeting in homes, they would be sharing the gospel in their communities, and the Lord would lead hungry souls and the people sharing the gospel to meet.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Jn 16:13

I pray our churches can continue. At the same time, I'm mentally preparing for the possibility that they will not be able to.

My pastor and his wife are elderly, they have been quarantined for covid19.
We are currently renting a building and Pastor has mentioned a few times that unless the church keeps giving we can not continue to rent.
Many of our small flock are currently unemployed. Some are elderly and are not online.
We are being told that this lock down could continue in one form or another until we get a vaccine.
Online church won't cut it for the long term. I want to be mentally prepared for an alternative to life as it was.

If the first century persecuted church did it, without buildings, large gatherings, google maps, or yelp, we can do it. They grew a lot during persecution.
