The Apostolic Canopy is a book that describes the relationship dynamics of the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. This book addresses these individual roles and how they work together to reach and equip Gods people to establish his kingdom. For too long the notion that apostles existed only in the first century or so of church history is no longer a valid argument. Today, it is evident that the fivefold ministry is rapidly emerging and mobilizing for the end time revival harvest that will sweep the globe. Apostles play the preeminent role among Gods government, hence, the Apostolic Canopy. In this book, you will understand the functional and relational dynamics of the Apostolic Canopy model. For you to embrace this model, you must first understand and appreciate the role that each of the fivefold ministries plays in a persons life to reach, develop and send them to their destiny.
