WORK DEVELOPMENT
"No Church is fulfilling its responsibilities to God, or preparing itself for its best and most effective work, which does not regard itself in some respects as a great Training School for Christian workers."—Rev. A. Swift.
"And He gave—
Some indeed to be apostles,
And some prophets,
And some evangelists,
And some shepherds and teachers,—
With a view to the fitting of the saints
For the work of ministering,
For an upbuilding of the body of the Christ."
The Letter of Paul to the Ephesians.
