Spiritual gifts
The gift of Apostleship — Sent Ones
You start things. God sends you into new ground — new ministries, new cities, new territory — and you build where nothing was.
1 Corinthians 12:28 · Ephesians 4:11
“And God has appointed in the church first apostles.”1 Corinthians 12:28
In the church
You plant, launch and pioneer. You can hold vision through the fragile beginning stage others cannot tolerate.
Outside the church
You start businesses, programs and movements. You are restless in maintenance and alive in beginnings.
In childhood
You invented clubs, games and businesses. You always wanted to make a new thing rather than join an old one.
In adulthood
You learn to finish as well as to start, and to hand the work to shepherds who will stay.
With others who share it
Pioneers need peers who understand the loneliness of going first. Find them and meet often.
Your #GLO plan — Give Light, Offer Hope
- Name the one new thing God is asking you to start.
- Recruit a shepherd and an administrator before you launch.
- Set a hand-off date from the beginning.
- Stay rooted in a home church while you build.
