I Will Build My Church - Jesus

Are contemporary apostles biblical?
Does the church need apostles today?
Dr. Ron Woodworth makes a compelling case for contemporary apostolic leadership. "The apostolic function is just as necessary in the local church as it is on the mission field."
Beyond the original twelve apostles, the New Testament refers to apostolic functionaries. Since the New Testament mentions apostles seventy-nine times-both pre- and post-resurrection of Jesus-we would do well to not dismiss this vital gift to the church.
In this biblically-based and thorough analysis of the ministry of apostles, Ron Woodworth gives:
