Acts 13:1 NLT
Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon (called "the black man" ), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas ), and Saul.
Thinking about Eph 4, I have come to believe that a team of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers is how the Lord designed balanced leadership within the Body. (And it seems to me that elders are critical for ensuring that shepherding happens.)
Heavenly Father, thank you for creating the church with a team of leaders. Lord, please use me in the Body. I love you, and I ask in the name of Jesus.
