It is a continuation of the introductory Volume III and gives you a comprehensive description of each of the "five-fold ministries" - the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacherThe apostle is the pioneer and architect with the largest vision and scope for the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Besides him the prophet sharpens the direction of the activity of the Body of Christ bringing the prophetic "right word at the right time". Together, these two ministries lay the foundation for the church.The evangelist completes the apostolic work in an area, seeing to that everyone is reached with the Gospel. The pastor oversees the local church(es) as the loving shepherd, and the teacher ensures that everyone knows and understands the Word. Together they complete the Great Commission from Jesus Christ to "make disciples of all the nations" (Mat 28:19).They are all assigned to ensure that every believer is fully equipped for ministry. As such, they are of vital importance to the strength and growth of any church. Jorn Overby is born of Norwegian missionaries to Bangladesh and spent his childhood on the Indian subcontinent.
