Needless to say, in understanding the perspective of Packer and Ryrie, one would considered the process of recruiting opened to all who believe God has called them to serve in the evangelistic ministry.
According to Aubrey Malphurs, success is dependent on leadership that understands what it is doing and is capable of doing it.11 He states, “One must resist soliciting people who are merely willing to sit on the team.”12 Therefore, based on Malphurs perspective, one would come to realize, followers or leaders who are faithful and willing servants are not necessarily capable of leading or following, in a manner that accomplishes the vision of the evangelistic ministry.
Essentially, the motives of an evangelistic ministry member, must first demonstrate the love of God and concern for His glory; and second, is love of humankind and concern for the welfare of his well-being.13 …show more content…

Although, this remains true, additionally, there remain eight basic qualities of behavior, a team member must demonstrate. The ministry team member must find it imperative to follow Jesus Christ first and work in this manner. At the same time, he or she must follow the guidelines offered by author, Bob Crossman.

“The Gospel For Those Broken By The Church” by Dr. Rod Rosenbladt Rod Rosenbladt paints a fantastic picture in his presentation “The Gospel For Those Broken By The Church.” He discusses how the church can often push people away from the Gospel, and, by extension, God. He explains how pastors push people away from Christianity and why many of the “alumni of the Christian faith” are feeling how they do: why some of them feel angry, and why some others feel sad about the Christian faith. Rosenbladt’s presentation, in many ways, mirrors Paul's presentation of the Gospel in the first eight chapters of his letter to the Romans. In said letters, Paul explains how we are all God’s apostles, how we try to uphold the law, and even though we fail

The missionary began his speech by stating that he had originally planned to become a pastor after graduating from seminary, but after receiving his degree he felt led to use his skills to assist the less fortunate.

In the previous statement, the missionary attempted to appeal to the congregation through ethos. He discussed seminary school and his missionary experience in order to establish credibility as a trustworthy man of God.

He invites fellow leaders to witness the process of leadership development vicariously; revealing both the challenges and victories his church experienced throughout the journey. Wilson illustrates his process in the form of three conversations, each implementing rigorous goals designed to expand the team’s leadership effectiveness and to impact more people. The first conversation concentrates on their honest assessment of the current culture of the leadership team; recognizing their need for personal growth so they become models of effective leadership.

“Henri’s mentoring helped me open up my life to receive gifts of peace, joy, courage, hope, and lots of trust” (Hernandez 39). Lywood had very little confidence in herself to become a strong Christian spiritual leader, yet Nouwen showed her the way. Christians need to realize that they can make a difference by putting aside the thoughts of being not good enough, or having too much baggage themselves to really help others when they can hardly help themselves. But it is “the mystery of ministry is that we have been chosen to make our own limited and very conditional love the gateway for the unlimited and unconditional love of God... people who are so deeply in love with Jesus that they are ready to follow Him wherever He guides them, always trusting that, with Him, they will find life and find it abundantly” (Nouwen
