For some reason I have never paid a whole a lot of attention to Ephesians 4: 11-12. It was never covered in any depth in college or any ministry I’ve been in but I have no excuses for why it has just been glanced over.
“It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.”
Over the last few weeks these verses have been coming back to me more than likely because of a Children’s Ministry Volunteer Meeting but it seems deeper than that. So started to look for equipping and training material. No real avail a first. But then it I finally did and man did I find a treasure trove.
From Cadre Ministries I found:
Dialogue #1- Training Makes All the Difference
Dialogue #2–The Training Genius of Jesus
And from Community Christian Church’s Small Groups I found:
A Coach’s Guide Book
Over the next few days I’ll break down what I see as unaligned focuses of church leaders, training and equipping lapses and what we can do about it.
So Buckle Up and Stay Tuned.
