🙏🏻 Back in June, I was praying at church about mine and Nicki’s new role as National Convenors for the United States Coalition of Apostolic Leaders (USCAL)….

Those of us in leadership who believe in the legitimacy of apostolic and prophetic ministry today, confirm the need for accepted ethics of integrity and accountability. We stand firmly against certain aberrations promoted by some charismatic leaders and some who identify themselves as apostles and prophets.

There are four unique currents that have converged into our unique stream of Pentecostal/Charismatic Christianity over the last 40 years. It’s been called many things, yet its components are basically these:

As a person who has been part of the Apostolic Movement since 1989 I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. That being said, I believe all of the five-fold ministry gifts mentioned in Ephesians 4:11 have always been present throughout church history (leaders were functioning these ways, whether they used these titles or not).

As someone who has been involved in teaching and implementing principles of the Kingdom of God since the mid-1990’s I have observed many ways Christian leaders do not expand the kingdom! The following are some of the most common ways we work without kingdom effectiveness.

One of the first goals of the national coalitions is to help restore the church to the simplicity, authenticity and effectiveness of the (Apostolic) New Testament church model. The apostolic church in the first century was marked with rapid growth that resulted in penetrating every aspect of culture resulting in transforming the Roman Empire within three centuries!
