Jim & Tricia’s Missionary Work
In 1985, Jim and Tricia traveled to Europe with eurail passes and backpacks and met Christians. The next year, they once again desired to be missionaries, sold the little they had and gave the money away , according to Mark 10:21 (“Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”) One man they blessed with a cash gift was a stranger Jim met, who had just been released from prison – who later came to be a powerful missionary. Jim and Tricia believed then that God would give them a mission, and prayed for revelation and guidance.

House Church
In 1987-1988, Jim and Tricia opened their home to others, a true house church, and a few families joined them in the ministry. They lived together and had everything in common. That spring God called Jim and Tricia to Israel. They went with one-way plane tickets, meeting/camping with other Disciples in the desert, seeking the Lord Yahshua – Jesus the Christ – through fasting and prayer. They met with Christians and non-Christians in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
triumph in Christ
In these tremendous end-times Jesus Christ rises as Lord and promises, “Yet once more I will shake not the earth only but also of heavens. This phrase, ‘Yet once more’, indicates the removal of what is shaken…in order that what cannot be shaken will remain. The Kingdom which we are given is unshakable; let us therefore give thanks to God, and so worship him as he would be worshiped, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12).”
Is This Revolutionary?
Is this concerned-fellowship, church-in-the-home idea which many have proposed during the past several decades revolutionary? It most certainly is not revolutionary in the sense that it is something new. It is as old as Christianity. It only seems revolutionary because our whoredom Churchianity has departed so far from New Testament Kingdom-of-God Christianity. If in its simplicity and reality the practice of Bible-patterned Christianity appears radical, it is because the Churchianity of Christendom has made a travesty of that type of Christianity which “turned the world upside down” and in one generation swept over the world. The then known world was relatively much larger than is our One-World of today.
