So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13

The People of Jesus
We don’t follow Jesus alone. Find a group to grow with »
About two thousand years ago [Jesus] gathered his little group of friends and trainees on the Galilean hillsides and sent them to “teach all nations” - that is to make students (apprentices) to him from all ethnic groups. His objective is to eventually bring all of human life under the direction of his wisdom, goodness, and power, as a part of God’s eternal plan for the universe. We must make no mistake about it. In this sending out his trainees, he set afoot a perpetual world revolution: one that is still in process and will continue until God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
Dallas Willard
