Chris.
The Apostle’s Ministry was a very important part of the life of
the early Church. The Book of Acts reveals to us their meaningful input into
cultures other than their own and their work in founding Churches and helping
them to grow. I believe that there are still ministry gift Apostles in the Body
of Christ. One thing is for sure…they do not call themselves ‘apostles’ they
are called Apostles by the Body of Christ!
