All Christians in your locality are together the local church

This ministry Local Body of Christ (LBOC) can reach worldwide influence in each locality if some 100 million Christians worldwide do door-to-door ministry where they live. There are about 4 million cities/towns/villages in the world.

we can be encouraged when we see that more and more people are bringing Christians in contact with one another who live really close to each other like less than 100 meters away. Therefore we ask you to leave a comment here and supply the following four facts:

1. Number of Christians who help Local Body of Christ (LBOC) realize its vision especially (but not exclusively) by door-to-door and setting up fellowships and organic churches (as your comment is personal your own answer is always 1 but you are asked (see below) to write down the total number of all comments including yours).
2. Number of cities/towns/villages the LBOC ministry has started in.
3. Number of fellowships
4. Number of fellowships in transition to organic churches
5. Number of organic churches

Add your numbers to the numbers shown in the newest .comment. That way the totals get updated each time and any person who reads this website just sees the newest statistics in the most recent comment.

LBOC exists since 2009 but the feature of allowing everybody to update their progress, was only added to the website in 2019. Various reports have come in through various channels. Some of them appeared to be trustworthy. Others might have been fake reports. This system allows everybody to take personal responsibility for the LBOC ministry that person has done. Each entry therefore represents only what the person with that name has done. LBOC might spend funds to allow people who have done LBOC ministry but had ñot the means to update the website to do so. Based upon the various reports we might have had as many as about 10,000 people doing LBOC ministry. The number of places we know of by all these reports is however just a few dozen. The number of groups started are also a few dozens. The number of organic churches in transition are about 7 and there are said to be about 10 organic churches divided over Kenya, Uganda, Tanzanare and India. In order for LBOC to confidently claim there are mature organic churches as meant by Frank Viola then the board must have had several good reports of such an organic church which taken together give indeed the impression of a functioning mature organic church as meant by Frank Viola. The best confirmation is however a personal testimony from Joep de Kraker who has seen that church and spent some time with them.

If anybody below at the testimonials claims to have set up an organic church then that person takes accountability for that statement instead of LBOC. We at LBOC can take accountability only for what it publishes itself on our website and in our newsletter.
