Housegroups at the start of the Vineyard movement
Housegroups have been at the foundation of the Vineyard since the very beginning. Carol Wimber in her book John Wimber: The Way It Was described those early days like this:
“(We went) to the meeting that someone called “Afterglow” and God was there and we basked in the joy of it all. It was there that Bob and the rest of us laid down the rules for this group of us “rule makers”:
1. No prayer requests for anyone else but yourself; you are here for you, not for anyone else
2. We are going to sing to God, not about him, and we are going to learn to worship, whatever that means
3. Different ones will share and no one will monopolise
4. No bringing up church problems and no church criticism
5. Let’s leave our places and positions and trophies and badges and honours at the door, and all come together on equal ground while God teaches us about himself.
Well, you can’t have that kind of meeting without the Lord showing up.” |
