This is the very first book published under our new publishing arm, Arsenal Press. We believed so strongly in the material in this book that we put our money where our heart was and published it. This book adds to the already large library of books on the apostolic, but it brings a fresh approach as well as a balance that is missing from the other books as well as the movement as a whole. We obviously give this book our highest recommendation.

Are we building unto man or unto God?

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 1 Cor 3:10

For the past 40+ years of the Charismatic renewal, many churches and ministries have been established in the name of the Lord. Some of these have passed the test of time, but much of what has been built has been unto man, not unto God. In The Apostolic and Prophetic Foundation, Donald Rumble unveils a picture and a plan for building upon the one true foundation, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Looking at the necessary functions of apostles, prophets, and elders, Rumble explores how these ministries can properly serve by Gods ability to build every believer into a Holy dwelling place. The Lord desires to raise up an accurate, unique corporate expression of Himself. For this task, He must bring forth a people who are wholly dependant on Him.

The Apostolic and Prophetic Foundation is a clarion call for leaders to reexamine their place in Gods building process. It truly is time for us to give the Lord back His church!
