The mission?
Design a simple dwelling that can be constructed for under $300 which keeps a family safe, allows them to sleep at night, and gives them both a home and a sense of dignity.
The $300 house has been in the pipeline for some time now, and it's getting to a point where some real progress will be made.
Like Habitat for Humanity this is an attempt to make housing affordable for people who would otherwise never live in their own home. Unlike H for H it's aimed at people in poorer countries for whom the H for H house would be a complete dream.

Future Church
In the latest edition of the online magazine, Next-Wave Ezine, there's an article by Eutychus Bailey. Slightly tongue-in-cheek, it's called: Third Millenium Church Movements
The note from the editor states:
The following article was written on 3 February 2046 by Eutychus Bailey, author and former North American pastor. Because of amazingly quick Internet access and the exponential growth of micro-processing speeds, we are now able to publish this column forty years before it was actually written. This gives us the chance to get an unknowingly futurist perspective on where things are heading from this pragmatist writer observing his own times.
Note the date....
Bailey looks at four movements in the church, and gives his view on how they've have fared over the 'last' thirty or so years.
2000-2008: The Super-Church Satellite Movement
House Church
(An interesting take of where the church is currently at....)
