Greet the church in your house" is a radical, hard hitting plea to examine how we do church in order to change how we do church - for the sake of reaching the lost. Victor Choudhrie is a prophet crying in the wilderness - a voice from India that pleads with us to heed the call of Jesus to a new covenant and a new way of being God's people.

"Greet the church in your house" is strategically relevant to today’s torn world. Current trends, accelerating in influence, point toward a global clash between God’s elect and Satan’s agents. This is consistent with biblical prophecy, including Jesus’ declaration, “This good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony to all nations (ethne, cultural groups), and then the end will come.” Our Lord is now equipping His church like never before, to finish this task of reaching the remaining unevangelized people. Nearly all of them have authorities hostile to the Faith, and the institutional church has proven unable to reach the heart of the population. Dr. Victor Choudhrie has clearly defined the key, based on New Testament instruction, to establish Christ’s Kingdom within these cultures, and not just at their fringes. It does not require a lot of money, degrees, big organization or highly skilled, rarely gifted missionaries. Ordinary believers, freed from the lure of Bigness, including new believers, sustain the movement. All who train workers to harvest today’s ripe fields should require their trainees to digest "Greet the church in your house".

If house churches had seminaries, and you could boil down the best parts of each course into one eye-opening book, this would be it. For at least the next thirty years, "Greet the church in your house" will stand as the most reliable reference source for both leaders and inquirers. It will form the working basis of the millions of new church planting movements now spreading rapidly across the globe.

In many ways, Dr. Victor Choudhrie is a modern day Gandhi; his role as a father for the nation of India has already changed the lives of many millions and is nothing short of being absolutely historic. Excited by the original message of the Kingdom of God; infuriated by the stubbornness of small-minded religion, and fearless to touch even the holiest cow if it stands in the way of the Lamb of God, you can, in this book, watch him apply a surgical knife to the cancer of religious scoliosis that has rendered Church-as-we-know-it pretty useless in fulfilling the primary cause that Jesus had in mind when he said: “I will build my ekklesia!” Choudhrie does this so that the Body of Christ, plagued by the disease of disobedience, selfishness and ever dancing around the Golden Calves of the day that desire to steal Gods glory, can return back to a measure of spiritual health and apostolic vigor to fulfill the final part of the Great Commission. He knows that a religious church that has dramatically moved away from the primary concepts and commands of its King has a king no more. It may be busy shouting, preaching and dancing “Lord, Lord!”, but simply does not do what that Lord actually says. And Victor Choudhrie knows and has observed in his beloved India what happens if people – anyone, any age group, any background - return to Jesus as King and obediently follow his simple directives for the ekklesia. The result is an explosion, a Kingdom virus is released that changes everything in its course and disciples millions. This is no fairy tale; it has already happened, and it is already spreading from India to many other nations.

Dr. Choudhrie’s writings are birthed out of the womb of experience. He is one of India’s key apostolic leaders whose team has trained numerous “master builders” and launched tens of thousands of house churches across the nation and beyond. We would do well to sit at his feet and listen for a long while. May we not only read this book, but absorb its principles and apply its practices to start our own multiplying network of Christ-centered, Bible-based, and Spirit-led house churches no matter where we live!

Victor Choudhrie is a modern day version of George Fox. He clearly operates directly off the scripture and New Testament principles that build the Kingdom of Heaven to the fourth generation and beyond. His principals and his message do not require eloquence or super gifted people but simply ordinary people who are emptying their lives of self and allowing the Holy Spirit to fill them and impact the world around them.

This is the book I recommend first to those who want to plant churches that can reproduce. And to those who want to start churches in which folk of any background can both experience the presence of Christ and grow in obedience to the Word of God. Victor Choudherie writes from an unusual mix of Scriptural understanding with 1000s of hours in training and coaching many of those who lead the church-planting movements in southern Asia that you have heard about.

Dr. Choudhrie's book "Greet the church in your house" is a must for new believers looking for reality in their Christian experience. For those who have been involved in traditional settings, whether leaders or simple believers, who would like to experience more of what is true Christianity practiced in life, this book will release you to be more and see more of Christ and the reality of who we are called to be, the Ekklesia of God. Having worked with Dr. V. for many years in the training others to be real Christians in a dieing world in India I have seen first hand the effects of living out what is written in His book. There is an amazing CPM (church planting movement) of God going on in India based on the principles discussed in this work. Dr. V. Chouldhrie is one of the 'Fathers' of this great work of God and His book lays out the elementary practices needed to see a changed home, community, city and region.
