I recommend that you see each other weekly to discuss how things are going, and to introduce new leadership material from Scripture every week. You will want to meet the people he or she is mentoring, and bring into fellowship all leaders who relate to you and each other. If you have begun the relationship on the right foot, then there really is not a transition. From the beginning you were a coach, and never a player. This is one of the most common mistakes I see. Church Planter coaches to do everything and then try to turn it over to the local leader. There should never be a turning over, only a beginning with the local leader who does everything as the church planter coaches him or her.

What relationship, if any, should he maintain with such a church and with the man of peace? dbissen David,____I would like to know when is the time for the missionary/church planter to transition away from the church that he initiated with the help of the man of peace, and then continued to support through his work with the man of peace.
