If their message is as good at they seem to think, then it will, eventually, have a definite impact on the Church at large. This cannot, assuming the message is good, be a bad thing.

Here, I think the ministry of W. Nee had been "packaged for consumption," by CLC, CFP, and LSM. Many have been helped by Nee's ministry, and in certain circles, he is still widely respected.
Lee also has been heavily edited and "packaged for consumption," via the radio broadcasts, as just another gifted minister. Apparently the Spanish-speaking and Chinese-speaking world has been more receptive than us "moo-cow" Americans.
