The pastor exhibiting a heart for the people within the context of a small or large church ministry will only help ensure the success, stability, and longevity of the pastor. The requirement for the pastor is to some how master the gift of empowerment in his or her context for ministry. An understanding of the community the pastor has entered, its cultural surroundings, and a historical reference point for the way ministry has been implemented within the life of the church will only lead to a greater understanding for how the pastor is to equip and empower the people of God for kingdom work and to master the gift of empowerment. Vision for how ministry is accomplished and the ministry of sending as outlined in the New Testament is than carried out with purpose.
phew.
