[Old Rasputin]

Who is Stephen Kaung? He's one of the speakers at the conference, and his name pops up a bunch amongst old local church veterans.

He was a coworker of Watchman Nee's from Amoy. He now lives in Richmond, VA and travels extensively to teach mainly among overseas Chinese Christian groups. He started Christian Fellowship Publishers. He is a writer himself and also has translated much of Nee's work. He often worked with TAS when he was alive. I have listened to some of his sermons and my personal opinion is that he is a very insightful and gifted bible teacher.

Old Rasputin, when I met Stephen Kaung last summer he indicated an openness to fellowship with the local churches.

This summer the West Coast Christian Conference will be held again in the Northwest. I'm only mentioning here as many brothers and sisters who formerly met with the local churches receive the ministering of Christ by Stephen Kaung and the other speakers who labor with him.

This year's conference theme is "Christ is All and in All".

I have long been curious about the dynamics why the Church in Moses Lake is no longer received nor regarded as a local church. Is there anyone that can provide insight?

Terry

[TLFisher]

Based from a couple I visited in 2006 whom had years ago met with the Church in Moses Lake, they indicated the Church in Moses Lake met as the practical expression of the church well before being introduced to ministries of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee.
By the time I moved to Washington state in 1993, the Church in Moses Lake had then been regarded as a rebel church.
If as Christians we really do have a vision of the practical expression of the church, it should be based on receiving generally.
When a church as Moses Lake isn't received because they had disassociated from Living Stream Ministry, we as members of the Body of Christ must call into question what our receiving is based on.

Terry

[TLFisher]

During the 1986 elders training Brother Lee indicated the source for fellowship would now be the ministry. For many such as the leading brothers in Moses Lake, there had been nearly 20 years in the recovery where basis of fellowship and walk with one another is entirely on Jesus Christ.
This was the vision of practically expressing the daily churchlife.
If continuing fellowship was based on a ministry, this way could not be taken.
