Someone that is really sold out on the message that Peter preached.
I can't do it yet, but I would love for someone to come and help me start a house church,, not connected to any organization.
My excuses, for not yet,
First working some in my garden.
Then helping my daughter-in-law can---got my house in a mess.
And now I am on a walker.---can't clean house
I also have an older travel trailer, (that needs to be cleaned up) for someone to stay in. I only have one bedroom.
The reason that I am on a walker is my own fault. My primary care Dr. put me on 5mg of Prednisone. And as I have a slow growing kind of leukemia, my son wanted me to see his Oncologist. He mentioned that Prednisone thinned your bones and weakened your muscels.
So I stopped taking the Prednisone. 3 or 4 days later my right knee hurt so bad, that I couldn't walk without a walker. Then it dawned on me what the problem was, I started taking the Prednison again. And my knee is getting better. So I'll get with it in a few days.
Thought I would put this out there, and maybe we can start making plans.

Regarding the thin bones. My wife has had several back surgeries and still has back and neck issues. Her doctor enrolled her in a Forteo program. She has to give herself a shot in the stomach every night for two years (I think) and supposedly she will have completely rebuilt bones. Sounds to me like one of those things they later find out has some horrible side effect but I think this has been around for some time now. The cost is normally crazy. Something like $3,000 per year but they got us on a deal where it is $50 per month. A lot of money but $600 per year is a lot better than $3,000. You might want to ask your doctor about this. The leukemia might be a problem but it still would be worth asking about.
I am praying for your health and the church planting situation. I have to be honest though and if there are already good churches in your area I don't think starting another one is necessarily a good idea.
While I don't object on principle to house churches my experience has been that from a practical standpoint a lot of the Pentecostal ones are started by disgruntled people who were never happy anywhere because things were not done the way they wanted or nobody believed EXACTLY as they did so they just start their own little house church where things can be done their way.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
