For 17 years at that point, in addition to pastoring, I had been involved in Russia with a saturation church planting ministry vision. The idea is to plant enough churches in a given geographic region to bring the witness to every man, woman, and child in that region. I knew this was the vision that comes straight from the scriptures. Both Jesus’s ministry in Galilee and the apostles in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and ultimately the entire Roman Empire were based on this vision.
