ARE you confused about church leadership? What types of leaders are we supposed to have? What are they supposed to do? Where does each office fit in to the church itself? Although we would not draw such a conclusion looking at the church today, the New Testament church leadership represented a complete balance of authority and purpose, room for everyone's gifts and calling, and heaven and earth coming together in Christ's Kingdom. The five-fold ministry, appointments, and ministry works all came together to do the necessary leadership functions, purposing the church to expand and gain a notable presence all throughout the world. Then, one day...the five-fold ministry ceased. The appointments lost their purpose, and leadership became awash in politics, confusion, and disorder. What happened...and how can we get what we once had back? In Awakening Christian Ministry: The Call To Serve Others As We Serve Jesus Christ, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino, Ph.D., D.D. sets the church straight as to the essential components of ministry, five-fold ministry leadership, the appointments, and more in this complete one-volume work documenting her studies on essential leadership matters over a seven-year period of time. Divided into seven sections, learn what the Word has to say about leadership and appointments, and gain powerful insights into leadership conduct, perspectives, purposes, and advice as this apostle who has spent nearly twenty years in ministry draws on her years of experience and powerful Biblical knowledge on essential leadership topics.
