SHORT VERSION

We're RADICAL Christians, crying out for revival and the restoration of The Bride. We have a community of believers outside Kansas City that have come from all over. We have a 40 acre farm with a 20 acre cave under it. We have a large "community storehouse" warehouse to collect corporate and personal donations and redirect them out where they're needed. We have 10 mobile homes where we house Christians and folks in need. We have a unique thrift store with a food pantry and a "Free Room" where you can just take whatever you need. We have an event center that we rent for special events and meet together. It gets used as a warming center overnight when it's freezing. We have over 2500 videos on YouTube. Our founder, Doug Perry, has written eight books that are here free, plus a bunch of our original music and much more. We are serious people, living on faith, trusting God for everything, teaching people how to hear Him and be directed by Him, not by Man. We believe the only Biblical model for "church" is the city church - one body per city, under Christ, local elders, autonomous, unified and shocking the world with their love. We're working on tools to connect them all. It's unlikely that you know a ministry anywhere that is like this. Please stick around. We hope something here will bless you.

LONGER VERSION

"Fellowship of the Martyrs" is what God told us the "Church" should be - the "Koinonia ton Martus" in Greek - the comradeship, the family, the brotherhood of the witnesses that will NOT back down no matter what.  Koinonia is a very rich word.  So much of "church" is like a bag of marbles clinking around against each other - or like pieces of a puzzle inside a box, an assembly but not assembled.  When really we should be like a bunch of grapes that get stomped into the New Wine and can never get back into their little, independent skins ever again!  And "martus," well, up until the 1st century it meant "witness" - as someone who testifies in court.  When Jesus gave the Great Commission and said, "Go and be my witnesses unto the ends of the earth," the word there is "martus." The word came to mean those who would die rather than change their testimony AFTER the Christians were brought in courts and coliseums and refused to back down. It was NEVER about people strapping on bombs and blowing up public busses and airplanes. Those are just murderers. It always meant those who would rather DIE then deny Christ.  So that's what the Church ought to be - stomped grapes that mean it ALL the way and scream, "JESUS!" in the face of anything that comes at them.

If you're not that now, you better get there quick. Time is running out!
