Evangelistic-Apostolic (EA) Gift Cluster
Pioneering Persuaders
The Apostolic Evangelist (EA)
Gift Cluster blends the primary evangelistic gifted role with a
secondary emphasis on apostolic roles. This gift mix produces
“Pioneering Persuaders” who may believe they are called to share the
gospel with others by developing new evangelistic approaches and
facilitating connections between believers and non-believers.
To prepare for this type of ministry you will need to know
how to share the gospel with people from different worldview &
cultural backgrounds.
You may need to learn how to share the gospel more effectively by
developing new contextual approaches.
You may also need to mobilize believers in outreach using new
approaches and methods that are culturally appropriate.
The urgency you feel concerning the need to share the gospel
may need to be tempered with the need to cultivate the spiritual
soil around you – both among non-believers who need to hear the
message and believers that need to be mobilized to share the gospel
– and the need to gain the support and cooperation of believers who
can affect change. "Doing
things now while doing things new" becomes a theme that drives much of this
person's orientation.
