Publisher's Description

Are You Called to Ministry?
Those who are involved in full-time ministry often say they have been "called" to do what they do. But what does that mean?

In Prepare Them to Shepherd, Brian Croft unpacks the biblical model for preparing individuals for full-time ministry. In the past, training and sending individuals into pastoral ministry and missionary work was viewed as the responsibility of the local church. Today, much of that responsibility has been delegated to Bible colleges, seminaries, and parachurch and mission organizations.

The aim of Prepare Them to Shepherd is to challenge local churches to recover the biblical model for ministerial training and assume responsibility to identify and prepare gifted and godly individuals for service in Christ's body. Part of the Practical Shepherding series of books, this insightful book provides pastors and ministry leaders with the practical help they need to test, train, affirm, and send those who are called into ministry.

Previously published as Test, Train, Affirm, and Send into Ministry

Includes a Foreword by R. Albert Mohler Jr.
