Just wanting to pass on some useful information . . .

I recently met with Rad Zdero at a training session for house church leaders in Hamilton, Ontario.  Rad gradauted from McMaster University and later earned his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Queens’ University, has been involved in cell and house church planting for many years, and is the co-founder of House Church Canada.

I have learned that there are house churches in many places throughout southern Ontario (Hamilton, Mississauga, Barrie, Toronto, Kitchener, etc. and even Rochester!)  As someone who has looked for information on house churches in Canada, I know this will be useful for some of you and wanted to let you know.  I also found out through Rad that there is a house church near my home.  So, I contacted the leader of the church (who happens to know my father – cue the music . . . “it’s a small world after all!”)  and then he told me about another house church near here as well.  (I wonder how many more there are around here? – here, meaning Niagara.)

As well, Rad has recently edited a very helpful resource: Nexus: The World House Church Movement Reader.  You can see some of the introduction and the table of contents here.
