Equippers

In the scripture we are given a beautiful picture of how God has designed the church. According to Ephesians 4:11-16Open Link in New Window, Every disciple of Jesus is created and gifted by God for ministry (service). Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers are to equip disciples for ministry with the result of maturity. Therefore, it is important to develop equipping teams that equip/train the disciples as the church is sent towards one another and the world in love, proclaiming the kingdom and revealing its manifold presence.
