The five-fold ministry is biblical and from Apostle Paul's , it is God's design, and the original pattern that enabled the early church to multiply rapidly. 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 (NIV Ephesians 4:11-12)

In fact, it help the body of Christ dwell in the secret place of the most high, abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Yes, thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Holy Spirit gives His wonderful counsel through His five fold ministry unto the body of Christ, strengthening and building up His church. He fight our battles. He sent out His Word, often , via His five fold ministry on which the people of God rest upon, thus delivering us from the hands of the enemies of our souls, bring our enemies to sore destruction. It help prepare us as a bride of Christ. adorned for her Husband., Alpha and Omega who makes everything new. He will give unto you if you are athirst of His design, His doctrine. It helps you overcome bringing forth fruit..For only he that overcome shall feast on his inheritance.

For most of today's churches, which are congregational in nature, the absence of apostles and prophets is taken for granted. But for God's servants who are faithful to the Bible and God's design, the restoration of the apostles and prophets is a must to expand His Kingdom Church, which is no longer an organization of a group of believers gathered in a local area, but to nations

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. (NIV Ephesians 2:19-22)

The apostles were quickly spread the gospel to Egypt and other African countries, and the Apostle Peter took the gospel to the centurion Gomorrah in the Italian camp (Acts 10), and the church expanded to the Gentiles. Apostle Paul was sent to the nations in the missionary church that the Antioch Church had transformed into. Paul's team took the gospel to Turkey, Greece, and Rome, and established churches in many of these countries, which was the goal and result of Jesus' establishment of the first apostles.

Philip the deacon had four daughters, all prophets, in the new generation of believers that had been birthed in the early church (Acts 21:9). Paul was also warned by the prophet Agabus that he would meet bondage in Jerusalem.

In the last days of disasters and wars, the salvation of people's souls cannot be delayed, and the mission field is even more difficult and challenging. Therefore, God's servants should have the courage and spirit of the apostles of the early church on the one hand, and the reminder and protection of the prophets on the other, so that the kingdom of God can be advanced to the nations in a mighty way, and bring out a great harvest, in preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen!

Today, Sunrise is moving towards the restoration of an important biblical truth in the fulfillment of the Lord's Great Commission in this new generation - the team building of the five-fold ministry!
