And He gave...for the equipping...until we all attain... (Eph. 4:11-13)

To be effectively functioning in roles which allow you to adequately express your heart motivation and gifts is fulfillment almost beyond belief. The most successful corporations of today are doing something unique: New employees are given a battery of personality and skill-level profiles to discover their temperament, talents, skills, and interests. With this information, the individual is then fitted into the job best suited to use his individual desires and gifts. For years I have marveled at this, realizing that these employees will perform to their greatest capacity when they work for such companies. They will be so glad to have found a niche in life for which they are perfectly suited and in which they are fulfilled that they will give one hundred and fifty percent and do so joyfully, while receiving a blessing in return. Wouldn't it be nice if the Church could do the same thing, if it, too, tested all newcomers and placed them in a position that most perfectly suited their personality, their dreams, their talents, and their maturity level? I wonder what would happen to a church that put everyone to work immediately on the proper level of his gifting and maturity, and in the area of his heart motivation. Would it be right for us to anticipate explosive growth? We have the solution for such progressive churches. In the book *Gifted to Succeed* you will find a battery of a dozen different profiles that will examine everything from heart motivation to Bible knowledge to commitment level. After completing the profiles and working with a consultant, you will be able to place the new attendee in the area of ministry in your church that is most perfectly suited to his skills. The church wins, the church member wins, and the kingdom of God wins -- a triple win situation.

The pattern has been there all the time, but we have not seen it. It is the five fold team leadership style delineated in Ephesians chapter four of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. God has already set the stage. The pastors have been with us for years. The evangelists arose in the 50's and 60's. The teachers were the move of the 70's. The prophets came in the late 80's and the early 90's, and the apostles were with us by the mid-90's. So the team is complete. It has been restored by the mighty hand of God. The One Who restores all things is now restoring New Testament leadership style. God's promise is that this leadership team, when functioning together, will bring the Church to maturity. May we see that day!
This last week I ordered a bunch of the material from your catalog. I am devouring them!! I have been having a truly WOW experience all week. The BEST was my encounter with the *Dynamic Five Fold Team Ministry* book. For years I have felt like a crazy person because I have perceived in my spirit that the Lord had something different in His Heart and Mind concerning how the Body is to function...your book confirmed all that I have had in my heart for years. I really consider this week of my life to be a major deliverance because now I know that I am not crazy. I believe that there are sooo many of the body members that are suffering because they feel that something just isn't right, but are shamed into believing it is their problem. I feel that the magnitude of this problem is very similar to when Martin Luther was raised up to bring deliverance to the Lord's people. I am praying for your voice and the voice of others to be heard so that the people can be free and the Lord's heart and mind will be manifest in His Church. I believe that it is time for another "95 Thesis" to be nailed to the door. -- Andrea Bennett McDonough, GA

Recommended Links *The Virkler Grid -- A Comparative Analysis of the Foundational Offices of Ephesians 4:11* The reason I'm writing, Mark, is to congratulate you for your excellent work in the “Fivefold Ministry Summary.” This is not only brilliant, but it is extremely useful…. In my opinion, this should have a wide circulation. How about making a free-standing version of it with the title “The Virkler Grid” and with a subtitle “A Comparative Analysis of the Foundational Offices of Ephesians 4:11?” Gifted to Succeed could be noted below with your web address for ordering. The first thing I would do would be to send it to ICA members. I would expect that you will see it popping up all over the place since there is nothing else like it. The Virkler Grid could end up being a standard tool for the whole apostolic movement in years to come. -- C. Peter Wagner Founder of Global Harvest Ministries and co-founder of the World Prayer Center
