In the mid 1960s, the Lord raised up the church in Waco. The church life grew at that time and many were gained for the Lord, including many young college brothers and sisters off the Baylor campus. In 1969, the Lord burdened the whole church to migrate to Houston to begin the church life there. By faith, all of the saints (over 50) quit their jobs in the summer of 1969 and moved to Houston. From this migration, a glorious and prevailing church life was raised up in Houston that has blessed the entire earth.

The Lord again raised up the church life in Waco in 1986. Three families who loved the Lord and who were burdened by the Lord for the oneness of His Body, began to meet in their homes for the Lord's testimony in Waco. In 1995, the Lord again burdened the saints in Waco to migrate. This time, most of the saints moved to either the church in Austin or Arlington to strengthen the church life in those localities.

However, the Lord was not through with Waco. In February 2000 the Lord again raised up the church in Waco with about twenty saints taking the ground for the church. Today the local church is going on with familles from Waco and Temple and students from Baylor University. The saints meet in a sister's home. The church in Waco has historically always been small, but praise God,
the Lord Jesus has a testimony in Waco.

We attribute the Lord’s blessing to the practice of four key principles in the Bible which we were helped to see more clearly through Witness Lee’s ministry. A Christian living and church life according to these four principles practically and organically builds up the Body of Christ:

1. Begetting—to bear fruit (John 15:4-5, 16)

We abide in Christ and “go forth and bear fruit.” To ‘go forth’ means to go to visit people to share Christ with them.

2. Nourishing—for the fruit to remain (John 15:16)

We meet in homes to spiritually feed and cherish newly saved believers.

3. Perfecting—to equip the believers (Ephesians 4:12)

We meet in small vital groups for fellowship, prayer, mutual care, and teaching the truth.

4. Prophesying—to build the church (I Corinthians 14:4-5, 12, 26)

In our large meetings we practice prophesying, that is, speaking for Christ and ministering Christ to one another.

We are thankful to the Lord for His continued presence and blessing among us. “To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all the generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:21)
