Seeing God on the move in Houses of Faith

A lay-led community in Leyton, East London, has seen God do extraordinary things in its ordinary house gatherings.

Sam, Portia and Beverley lead Houses of Faith, a new worshipping community that started out as a gathering of prayerful believers around Sam’s kitchen table.

Over two-and-a-half years, the Houses of Faith team have journeyed on the Myriad Pathway, discerning what God is calling them to do as a team of everyday leaders, gaining training and prayer support to step out into new spaces.
