Some of you may already heard through the home pages of SBCH and House Church Ministries International (HCMI), I have been elected to be the president of the House Church Ministries, North America (HCMNA). Currently, Pastor Chai is the president of HCMI, but this organization will be divided into two divisions of North America and Korea.
The first reason for the division is because of the retirement of Pastor Chai. He started the house church system and has promoted it in many countries by traveling all over the world. However, after his retirement, there is no ...

Dear Parents,
Jesus was in Capernaum, a city on the Sea of Galilee. The Pharisees and scribes—teachers of the law—came to listen to Jesus’ teaching. They were curious about His message and wanted to make sure He was teaching things that were true. So many people came that they crowded the house; there was no more room.
That day, four friends came to see Jesus. The four men carried their friend who was paralyzed. Jesus had healed people before—even people who were paralyzed. (See Matt. 4:24; 8:6.) The men believed Jesus came from God, and He could heal people. ...
