Fathering Leaders, Motivating Mission: Restoring the Role of the Apostle in Today's Church: Restoring the Role of the Apostle in Todays Church (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781860248375)

A unique book addressing the biblical requirement for apostles and their role in shaping today's church in fathering leaders and motivating mission.

What is an apostle? And how should this biblical role function in the church of today?

A new wave of 'apostolic ministry' has emerged in the church in modern times, but views differ on what this term means. For new and experienced Christians alike, understanding this aspect of relational church life can be a key to their effective functioning in the church.

David Devenish, a longstanding leader within the Newfrontiers movement, has many years' experience of working in this way with churches in the UK and in other cultures around the world. Now he distils what he has seen, done and learned into a thoughtful reflection on the biblical patterns of apostolic ministry and contemporary practice.

For anyone seeking to understand and appreciate the place of apostolic ministry in today's church worldwide, this is an invaluable guide.
