*THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY GIFTS*

*THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY GIFTS*
The Five fold ministry gifts also called the Ascension gifts as given to individuals only by Christ (Eph. 4:8-12) These gifts cannot be requested.

People with five-fold gifts will have various areas in which they overlap and integrate with another gift,  but will usually have a major demonstration in one of these.

Only Jesus had the ministry of all five of these gifts (Col. 2:9)

*APOSTLES*
      The supernatural ability to plant, develop, and lead a number of churches with extraordinary authority and demonstration of spiritual power that is spontaneously recognised, accepted and appreciated by those churches. This  gift is to both take new areas for Christ and maintain and grow areas already taken.

*PROPHETS*
     The supernatural ability to speak the revealed Word of God regarding individuals, circumstances and churches to leaders regarding the specific circumstances, new directions, and foretelling of events. This  directional gifting operates in submission to Pastors and Apostles. Its role is to speak God’s Word to assist in decision-making processes.

*EVANGELISTS*
    The supernatural ability to draw numbers of people to Jesus and to train local church members to effectively reach the people around them for Jesus. This gifting builds the outreach arm of local churches and is focused on taking people from an unsaved state to being active disciples in a local church.

*PASTORS*
         The supernatural ability to disciple and shepherd the people of God. This gifting builds, maintains, and develops the local church. People with this gifting are held responsible by God for a group of His people. Their role is to bring the house of God to maturity and to protect the children of God.

*TEACHERS*        
The supernatural ability to make the profound truths of God’s Word simple and easy to apply.  They are able
to identify the areas in which a particular group of people
need to be trained. It is their role to skill the people of
God enabling them to respond to the call of God on their
life and fulfil their destiny.
