Bob. Spiritually speaking, I've been in OC since Father God saved me, but OC (in my mind) is synonymous with the bride. For years, I sought a body of believers who had similar awakenings and revelations after moving from MN to NC. It wasn't until Kenny and Hayley Russell opened their home that I was without a fellowship. I recently changed jobs which denies me the luxury of participating, unfortunately.

I feel your burden for the "churchbound" brethren, which is a tall order because religion is a difficult hurdle to overcome. I've been there. Time is not on our side now. Hopefully, some inroads can be made by the Holy Spirit for you to reach a few. Remember, it's not about structure or function, but the person of Jesus Christ, our place in him, and our relationship with the Father. Our distinction needs to be 100% in contrast to what mainstream Christianity has been perpetrated as. Also, one of the hindrances will be syntax and lexicon. We use the same words, but interpret them differently. When we approach people mired still in traditions of men and rituals, the demonstration of our faith and love, as exemplified by Jesus, will be the characteristics that stand out. Our testimonies will reinforce those characteristics.

If we continue in the same practices as those we are ministering to, then our testimonies are minimized. Very soon the churches are going to face a terrible dilemma and the true believers shall be persecuted by their so-called brethren. Many facilities are going to close and the sheep will be without homes. That is why it is so important for us to be completely enveloped in who Christ Jesus is. Our trusting confidence in him will be demonstrated by our boldness.
