The house church group or CPM is not Southern Baptist or Baptist. It is a group that our missionaries have had contact with and provided some training to. I am not sure what Hatley has in mind for providing training but the last thing an indigenous CPM needs is a group of trustees or U.S. seminary professors with no cross cultural experience or understanding of the local situation to be training its leaders how to lead their churches. One interesting thing they will discover if the group is in China which I suspect, the majority of the house church leaders will be female.
