Friends of Healing Hereafter, sorry it’s been awhile, but we’re very excited about why! We’ve been working long and hard on a life-giving project that allows the rationality and refreshment of biblically-inspired research to benefit the whole world, not just our beliefs!
Healing Hereafter has long been a way to respect your toughest faith questions with free, organized, and biblically thorough answers. It has been truly a joy to see so many lightbulbs go on as people over the years have found rationality and refreshment in the answers God provides in his words. Thanks for exploring with us!
But as good as it is to strive for theological healing in our minds, we wanted to extend Healing Hereafter to bring life and restoration to the world as well! So we used some of the most practical insights from the e-book series (especially those about bringing spring from suffering!) to begin a huge spinoff called Worldwide House Church!
Through hundreds of hours researching how God’s money can do the greatest good, we found answers to 4 huge questions…
1. How are the resources we give God being spent?
2. Which of the world’s problems are most effectively addressed by our time and money?
3. Which solutions to these problems are best proven by objective, third-party research to minimize the problem and maximize both physical and eternal life?
4. Which charities are most responsibly and efficiently offering these solutions to those the problem affects most?
In other words, Worldwide House Church has been carefully crafted to do the most physical and spiritual good with the resources you can give for the world’s most in need.
We’ve combined the data from 15 charity evaluators (including Charity Navigator, Guidestar, Ministry Watch, Give Well, etc.). This allows us to both incorporate multiple methods of rating charities (including top-level scientific research!) and assess their consistency across these third-parties. The result is a free and regularly updated list of the world’s charities most proven to bless those in greatest need with the biggest benefit!
And the best parts? First, these charities are organized by cause groups, so you always get to help the population you’re created to bless! Second, 100% of what you give goes to the charities and beautiful people they serve so well, as our volunteer WHC Crew personally covers all operating costs. You literally can’t give to us, because others need your gifts so much more!
Unfortunately, the research consistently proves the opposite to be true for churches in general. The average church institution spends 90% of what you give on itself. And the 10% going to those in need is mostly focused on people who already have ample access to the Gospel, Christian community, and numerous layers of humanitarian aid. Moreover, the issues these important but relatively overserved people typically face are extremely complex and chronic, with solutions that are very expensive for the benefit they offer.
We have all questioned whether our resources are doing the most good in these situations, haven’t we? WHC celebrates the good that churches definitely do, but it’s been clearly and objectively established that making the most of what you’ve been given for the least of these-as Jesus commands-does hundreds to thousands of times more good (Matthew 25:14-46, Colossians 4:5)!
That’s where the house church part comes in. You can use WHC to make your generosity exponentially more impactful without changing your church activities at all. But for those who would benefit from church being available 24/7 and tailored to their current situations, we’ve got a beautiful biblical answer! To allow the global Body of Christ to bless each other even more, we’ve gathered hundreds of biblically-based teaching and worship options from all over the world. This includes new video versions of the most popular sections of Healing Hereafter!
To access these resources, just take 2 minutes to register whoever you want in your house church, then login to explore the topics and questions relevant to you! You can also customize encouragements and accountability during the week, to get more out of your church time. This is exactly why the Church Jesus started was a house church movement…it’s always available and applicable, and it frees up God’s money to be at least hundreds of times more healing for those in greatest need!
To excite you about the huge difference just a simple change in your giving can make in God’s global Body, check out just some of the research-proven impact people’s gifts have already had before WHC was even available to the public…
WE’RE SO ECSTATIC! This gets us up in the morning, lifts us out of our worst days, and gives us purpose and hope like few other things can! This is what Healing Hereafter looks like out in the world, both for this life and the next!
So whether your hereafter is being theologically healed with our instant-access free ebook series, or whether the hereafters of our global friends are being healed by the huge immediate impact you can have via Worldwide House Church, we hope you love our new combined approach to loving God by valuing his word and loving our neighbors by valuing his world!
