Hi! and Welcome! :)

Thanks for accepting my invite, I really appreciate it!

My name is Dana Cashwell and I along with my husband Travis, my three kids, Cameron 6 (she's a girl), Madeline 4 and Thomas 3 we left the church 2 years ago to BE the Church. The problem was we didn't know how to do it. Travis and I grew up in church so when we explained to our family, friends and church what God wanted us to do, the majority of them considered us apostates and heretics. Don't get me wrong, they loved us in their way, they just didn't support us.

A year ago, along with some of the friends we had left, started something called So What! Ministries (shameless plug: www.sowhatministries.com). Which was all about getting people off their butt and serving their community/church/family. Then we read Pagan Christianity. Mainly because George Barna was listed as an author. After reading it, we devoured everything that Frank Viola has written because he put on paper what we were going through and what to do about it. We're in the process now of revamping and updating everything.

I felt like I was wandering in the wilderness for 2 years searching for the promised land; thank God I finally found it!

Hello! // Is there a group you gather with weekly or on some regular basis? Or, are gatherings more spontaneous for you and your fellow HCSC (house/simple church) friends?

Thank you for the friending! :) Your family is beautiful. Have you lived in WA long? Have you been on the organic journey long?

Hello, We have just joined simplechurch.com recently, and we live up in the north end of seattle (Lynnwood area). We do get down to the southend rather frequently however. It's good to get to know anyone in the area who are on a similar journey. Nice to meet you. Hopefully we can learn more about each other's testimonies over time.

In Christ, Daniel

Hello Ashraf, thought I'd mention simplechurchseattle.com, where others in the Seattle/Puget Sound area, on the simple church journey, are getting connected. Our family is one of 6-7 that have been gathering for 8 or 9 years in the area, and there's many others at various stages of the journey. And those are just the ones we know!

Blessings,

Greetings Ashraf!
In addition to simplechurchseattle.com that Page mentioned, I just wanted to stop in and invite you to join the Simple Church Group "Washington Organic Church Association", found in the "Groups" tab of SimpleChurch.com. We are just trying to let other people in the whole of Washington State know of, and meet with, other like-minded Christians who are interested in fellowshipping with others in their area. Thank you, and Be Blessed!
