32. Application 1. “Biblically speaking, the first task of the pastor is not to go out onto the world to win unbelievers to the Church. The primary role of the pastor is to nourish, strengthen, equip, help, and sustain the laity for its ministry” (Knowles, A World to Love, 120).

33. 2. “The Bible pictures the pastor as an equipper of the laity for their work of service. It is not God’s plan that the laity should support the pastor as the star performer, but rather that the pastor should prepare the laity for their role in service. A pastor may inhibit lay involvement or he may be the one who encourages, trains, and equips the laypeople” (Knowles, 120).

34. (3).“The pastor is an equipper, bringing out the gifts of his people” (Knowles, 33) (4) “The English word pastor comes from the Latin for Shepherd’ … The Shepherd is responsible for his flock.

If need be, a good shepherd will die to save his sheep” (Knowles, 56).

(3) “The New Testament Greek expression laos refers to the entire people of God with no distinction between those paid for their service and who work and those who perform their services voluntarily” (Knowles, 120).

36. Church Members’ Primary Work • “God requires His church to nurse those who are young in faith and experience” (White, Evangelism, 352). • “The Church bears responsibility for nurture and outreach, and God’s plan is to equip the members so that each will in some way minister to others and share the good news” (Eph 4:11-13; Knowles, 151).

37. Conclusion Sectoral elite evangelism should not be “a promotional program, but an individual commitment, yours and mine” (Knowles, 218). Moreover, “will not be a program, but a fire burning in our hearts” (Knowles, 136).
