“An “apostle” [is] one who is called and sent by Christ to have the spiritual authority, character, gifts and abilities to successfully reach and establish people in Kingdom truth and order, especially through founding and overseeing local churches.”

“Apostles who do not save souls and establish churches are like farmers who do not produce a harvest.”

“An apostle does not just set up an ‘empire of churches’ over which he reigns and from which he receives glory and honor. Instead, the charge of all the local churches that God gives him becomes a gut-wrenching, intensely emotional, heartfelt, passionate ministry of life to precious souls! It is an awesome responsibility. It is not an arms-length transaction. The apostle must feel the very heart-beat, the pulse of the church, and be in touch with the lives of its people.”

“Apostolic ministry and suffering are inseparably entwined, and those who answer the apostolic calling must be prepared to face difficulty with a mastery of it. Without this ingredient in place, the apostle (and the whole apostolic movement) will not endure.”

“A New Testament apostolic function fully deployed within the Church today would significantly impact the dominion of darkness.”

“Language could be used as an instrument of control, a way of establishing hierarchies that suggest one set of people is better or more special than another. Through language, one automatically identifies one's place within a social and cultural hierarchy and we all carry with us illogical attitudes about the bearers of particular language, based on our own cultural background and continued exposure to local political ideals.”

“I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ. ”
