Since the beginning of time, through the ages, and to the present, man has been seeking to govern himself by his own power. Many of the machinations of man are geared toward structuring a government, whether civil or church, that revolves around either power, safety, or a combination of the two. In the past 2000 years leaders in the Church have rejected a government structure that is based in biblical revelation. Entering the mass of conversation, Shaw reveals a preferred government structure based in the actions of the Creator, both with the nation of Israel and the Church, over a timeline that spans generations. This revelation brings purpose and understanding to the five ministries revealed in Ephesians 4:11-12. All of the five callings are defined so that God's calling would be recognized in His ministers wherever they are. Shaw also deals with the arguments against the apostle and the prophet being viable in the Church today. What about women in ministry? Any treatise on government would be incomplete without dealing with this controversial subject. Are women allowed to hold an office of ministry according to the Word of God or are they forbidden? Shaw treats this subject carefully and with logic rather than with heated passions or preconceived ideas. What is an elder and what is a bishop? Both of these terms have brought confusion to the Body of Christ. The understating revealed about these two words can completely revolutionize the structure of the Church. Coming back to a Hebraic cultural understanding will release us as the Church to look like Jesus in the earth. With all of the various types of government in the Church, it becomes obvious that we have lost information that would keep us in the divine order of God. When we let God interpret to us what He wants, and we follow it, that can only be followed by the manifestation of His presence corporately.

Shaw has been in ministry for thirty-two years. He was vice-director of Five Fold Ministries for twelve years and has been director for the last nine years. He also presides as pastor over Adonai Worship Center in Pine Island, Minnesota. Bishop Mark teaches on the structure and government of the Church with emphasis on divine order. He brings clarity to the Scripture by revealing a Hebraic understanding and emphasizes the causes and conditions upon which we develop our faith. His desire is to return true discipleship back to the Church so that true leaders are being forged with truth and integrity. He has a vision for the Church that is cutting edge and Spirit mandated. In 2008 Bishop Shaw founded the Five Fold Ministries on-line E-Learning center. The E-Learning center is designed to distribute world class learning to students through internet technology that brings the school into the living room. The purpose is to develop leaders nationally and internationally that are willing to arrange the Church and its leaders in such a way that validates the Church as a voice in a secular society.
