House Church Movement, Great Britain
A new Church will begin to arise in England. It will take the form of many single cell groups across the land, united in a common bond founded on grace and truth.

It will consist of people who “do not love their lives even unto the death.” The most powerful weapon that this army wields is love – a love that conquers all, costs all and never fails!
