Teaching-Apostolic (TA) Gift Cluster
Pioneering Trainers
The Apostolic
Teacher (TA) Gift Cluster blends the primary
teaching gifted role with a secondary emphasis on apostolic roles.
This gift mix produces “Pioneering Trainers” who may believe they
are called to train believers in contextual methods and organize
contextual missional efforts by developing new approaches,
ministries or new congregations/churches.
To prepare for this type of ministry you will need to use
culturally-appropriate learning methods, training materials and
messages in light of the cultural groups in the community and the
church. You may need to
train ministry (worship, instruction, fellowship, outreach, service)
leaders by developing new, contextual approaches.
You may also need to train missional leaders who engage the
sociocultural groups in the community through customized approaches
and processes that you develop.
Your desire for competency and orderliness may need to be
tempered if it produces a “hardening of the categories” that
prevents flexibility and adaptability.
The desire to see rapid change that you may feel may also
need to be tempered with the need to bring others along in their
understanding before needed changes can be realized. "Doing
things right while doing things new" becomes a theme that drives much of this
person's orientation.

Teacher (TA) Gift Cluster blends the primary

cultural issues involved in their ministries and empower others to
deal with those issues.

culturally-appropriate learning methods, training materials and
messages in light of the cultural groups in the community and the

issues that arise from the community and church through their
ministries. You may also

tempered if it produces a “hardening of the categories” that
prevents flexibility and adaptability.
The intense desire and ability you have to analyze and

teaching gifted role with a secondary emphasis on evangelistic
roles. This gift mix produces “Advancing Trainers” who may
believe they are called to train and organize believers to be
effective in their evangelization activities.
To prepare for this type of ministry you will need to use
culturally-appropriate learning methods, training materials and
messages in light of the cultural groups in the community and the
church. You may

culturally-appropriate ways in order to guide seekers in discovering
Biblical truth. You may
also need to develop missional leaders through intentional
evangelism training.
Your desire for competency and orderliness may need to be tempered
if it produces a “hardening of the categories” that prevents
flexibility and adaptability.
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 trained to share the gospel.

things right while doing things now" becomes a theme that drives much of this
person's orientation.

relationships. To
prepare for this type of ministry you will need to use
culturally-appropriate learning methods, training materials and
messages in light of the cultural groups in the community and the
church. You may
need to train ministry leaders by modeling how to lead intentional,
life-transforming Bible study delivered in the context of personal
relationships. You may
also need to develop missional leaders who know how to disciple
others through reproductive-oriented Bible study and deliver that
mentoring in culturally-sensitive and relational ways.

tempered if it produces a “hardening of the categories” that
prevents flexibility and adaptability.
Your desire to foster strong interpersonal relationships may
