Category 11 - How to Succeed Through Five Fold
Teams!
And He gave...for the equipping...until
we all attain... (Eph. 4:11-13)
Ephesians 4:11,12 lists the five fold ministry
gifts of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher, and tells us that
each one of us has been given a gift. These materials are designed to help you
establish five fold ministry teams in your church and business, and to develop
team leadership.

There is no joy so complete as knowing who you are, who God has made you to be and what your basic giftings and drives are. 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.

Maximize Your Success by Honoring the Gifts of
Those Around You!
You will become much more successful by learning to
surround yourself with five-fold teams. When you draw out the input from
everyone on your team, you receive a variety of perspectives and a much
better overall revelation of how to move forward effectively in whatever
area you are pursuing.
Even though this book is written and applied primarily
toward leading a church through a five-fold team, you can apply this
five-fold team concept to each of the following situations:
Projects you are working on
Creative brainstorming for solutions to challenges
you are facing
Business decisions
Family decisions
Personal decisions
By making sure you have input from several people who
demonstrate the heart motivations which underlie the five-fold team, you
make better decisions and you succeed more
often!
The five heart motivations (voices)
we must hear from are:
The voice of divine creativity;
The voice of unending love for people;
The voice which passionately seeks out truth;
The voice which insists we must share the good
news;
The voice which ensures that all of the above
voices are heard, honored and flowing together in unison.
These voices come from the hearts of the prophet, the pastor, the
teacher, the evangelist and the apostle. To learn more about these gifts
and how they express themselves in a variety of situations, we recommend
that you also study our book Gifted to Succeed.
This book teaches you how to surround yourself with five-fold teams.
Applying its principles in every area of your life will propel you toward
success in all you do. May God’s rich blessing rest upon your each and
every move (Deut. 28:1-14) as you build winning teams in your life!
This
last week I ordered a bunch of the material from your catalog.I am devouring them!!I
have been having a truly WOWexperience
all week.
The
BEST was my encounter with the Dynamic
Five Fold Team Ministrybook.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.

Take it to the next level
If you want to go beyond simply reading a book and hoping you get everything
you need from it to really change your life, here are some options for
you.
Opportunity 2
Earn college credit while
being apprenticed to mastery in this area! Dynamic Five Fold Team
Ministry is also available
as part of MIN211 Building Dynamic Teams, a one-credit distance learning college course from
Christian
Leadership University. Learn to build
teams that function at the highest possible level of God's power while earning your degree from
home!
Opportunity 3
Mark Virkler is available to conduct a Dynamic
Five Fold Team Ministry seminar in
your area. Learn
more about this opportunity and how you can schedule this practical workshop at your
church.
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.
