Church and Parachurch Interactions

This lesson given to a combined Sunday morning class held at the Reformed Church of St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg, Russia) walks the believer through the various stages of a missional church plant – from its conception through the labors of a para-church ministry to the handing-over of the church and its leadership to national pastors and lay leaders. A special focus of this message is evaluating limitations with respect to authority and responsibility of parachurch movements. NOTE: Sermon is given in English with consecutive Russian translation.
