Principle Train leaders from before conversion

• House churches are a context for emerging
  leadership
• Elders - spiritual ministry (pastor, teacher,
  evangelist, prophet, apostle)
• Deacons - meet physical needs
• social work - widows, orphans, lame, blind, deaf
• Community development
• Small business - employable, training
• Loans cooperative - training in electronics,
  tailoring, pig-rasing, garment production etc.
