“An “apostle” [is] one who is called and sent by Christ to have the spiritual authority, character, gifts and abilities to successfully reach and establish people in Kingdom truth and order, especially through founding and overseeing local churches.” Apostle Book:Apostles and the Emerging Apostolic Movement Source: Apostles and the Emerging Apostolic Movement
“Apostles who do not save souls and establish churches are like farmers who do not produce a harvest.” Apostle Book:Apostles and the Emerging Apostolic Movement Source: Apostles and the Emerging Apostolic Movement
“An apostle does not just set up an ‘empire of churches’ over which he reigns and from which he receives glory and honor. Instead, the charge of all the local churches that God gives him becomes a gut-wrenching, intensely emotional, heartfelt, passionate ministry of life to precious souls! It is an awesome responsibility. It is not an arms-length transaction. The apostle must feel the very heart-beat, the pulse of the church, and be in touch with the lives of its people.” Apostle Book:Apostles and the Emerging Apostolic Movement Source: Apostles and the Emerging Apostolic Movement
