U. Apostle

U. Apostle: One sent forth to the unbelieving world to proclaim the gospel, disciple converts, train leadership, establish a Christian community, and then report back to the sending Body. At least the twelve (Acts 1:26), Paul & Barnabas (Gal. 2:8-9), Silas and Timothy (I Thes. 2:6-7), as well as Jesus’ brother James (Gal. 1:19) had this gift. This gift may be tied with the gifts of faith, evangelism, leadership and teaching. I Cor. 12: 28-29); Eph. 4:11 //Acts 13-15(esp.13:1-5, 14:14); Rom.16:7; Gal. 1:19; II Cor. 12:12.
