After three interesting weeks of challenge "Empowerment for a community" we enter the fourth week as the closing of this important challenge that marks a month of valuable exchange of experiences among all members of HeartChurch International Ministry.
The fourth week of the challenge will focus on the "Family Altar or Church at Home", where we will have the opportunity to share with the family, friends and brothers in Christ, beautiful moments of the word of God, testimonies, praises, and something delicious of the food ".
The family altar or the house church is a movement of great interest that reached an important strength with the first Christians, after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples who had gathered waiting for this great promise of the Lord Jesus Christ.

46 They persevered unanimously every day in the Temple, and breaking bread in the houses they ate together with joy and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church each day those who were to be saved.
Acts 2: 46-47 King James Version (RVR1995)
Taking the model of the early church, the brothers in Christ not only did the temple meetings, but they also met in the houses, praising God, praying and breaking bread together in harmony. This unity activity gave strong growth to the church because the people saw the unity between the Christian people and the favor they had with the people of the community and this allowed many people to be added to the Lord's church.
This brilliant movement of the church at home, we have put into practice in the International HeartChurch Ministry, where my person as coordinator of HeartChurc in the city Cantaura / Venezuela, together with other brothers of the HeartChurch ministry, we have developed some activities of “Altar family ”, in which members of the blood family, neighbors of the community have participated and we have gathered with the intention of praising our God, making personal requests, singing to our God and sharing the bread with our brothers.
There are times when we only meet to share a meal between the brothers from the HeartChurch community, brothers from the local church and some invited neighbors. All with the best intention of praising God with the example of sharing together in harmony and thus showing God's love for family and friends.
The temple before the pandemic was the best place to share with the brothers in unity, however, with the situation generated by the quarantine, the "Family Altar" has become the most suitable place to continue praising our God, from ourhouses.
I want to thank the brothers of the HeartChurch Ministry who accompanied me in the development of the activities of the "Family Altar", especially the brothers closest to the community and who find it easier to mobilize in the midst of the quarantine. These brothers include: @carlis20, @oscar20, @gloriana170, @mamidalia, @dali13,
