==Morning Star International/Every Nation== {{Further|Every Nation}} In 1994, several former Maranatha churches and ministries joined with other groups to form Morning Star International, under the leadership of former Maranatha pastors Rice Broocks, Phil Bonasso and Steve Murrell. Every Nation currently counts in its roster of churches at least seven former Maranatha churches in the United States, as well as a network of eight former Maranatha churches in the Philippines founded by Murrell. Every Nation has publicly disavowed Maranatha's more extreme practices. It claims that Weiner and Maranatha practiced "controlling discipleship, authoritarian leadership, and theological mysticism," but that Every Nation itself "unequivocally rejects" such practices.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.everynation.org/en/top/about-us/faqs.html |title=Every Nation | FAQ's - Church Planting, Campus Ministry, World Missions |access-date=2007-08-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070818131352/http://www.everynation.org/en/top/about-us/faqs.html |archive-date=2007-08-18 }}</ref> In a May 2006 letter, Murrell stated that Every Nation does not permit any practices and teachings that were "controlling, coercive, or intrusive, or that violate biblical principles (or) the priesthood of the believer."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.everynation.org/assets/files/LeaderLetter/Leader%20Letter%20May%202006.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2006-06-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060617102316/http://www.everynation.org/assets/files/LeaderLetter/Leader%20Letter%20May%202006.pdf |archive-date=2006-06-17 }}</ref> ===His People/Every Nation merge=== In 2001, the [[His People]] network of churches in Europe and Africa merged with [[Every Nation]]. This network also has considerable past links to Maranatha. Its flagship church, His People Church in [[Johannesburg, South Africa]] was formed in 1992 after His People Campus Ministry at the [[University of the Witwatersrand]] united with Maranatha Church in Johannesburg led by [[Bill Bennot]]. As Vice President of His People International, Bennot maintained ties with former Maranatha ministers such as Rice Broocks. His People began cooperating with Every Nation in 1996, and unity talks around this time as well. The addition of His People to the EN stable greatly increased EN's footprint in Europe and Africa. Bennot is no longer affiliated with Every Nation.
