The Practical Building Up of the Local Churches

In Matthew 16:18 the Lord Jesus spoke perhaps the greatest prophecy in the New Testament: “I will build My church.” The purpose of this website is to examine how the Lord is fulfilling this prophecy through the practical building up of the local churches. The ministries of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee have revealed that this building work is specifically carried out in the divine life, by the function of all the believers as members of the Body of Christ, and according to the God-ordained way.
