Apostles are master builders called and sent by Christ with spiritual authority, character, gifts, and abilities to successfully reach and establish people in kingdom truth and order, especially through founding and overseeing local churches. Those with the nature of the apostle’s ministry are considered an apostolic people. These people are sent by God to fulfill their own purpose and destiny. A characteristic of the apostolic spirit is an awareness of being sent. Understanding the Ministry of the Apostle by Apostle Alton R. Williams reveals characteristics of the apostle’s ministry, the differences between the pastor and the apostle, and biblical proof that apostles are for today.
