Passing the Mantle Ministerial Training
The call of God into ministry begins a long process in the life of an individual.
The first call is a call to consecration. God speaks and urges one to come aside from the regular schedule and spend time alone with Him. As a person begins to surrender their personal priorities to the will of God, a breaking and a remolding process begins. Through time and divine order, God’s plan for the ministry is designed to produce the “perfect man” in the stature and fullness of Jesus Christ.
Training is part of God’s plan for ministry. Jesus trained his disciples, and the Apostle Paul trained Timothy. Training is passed on from one generation to another. The harvest field is vast and ready. We are living in the last days, and it is therefore essential that multitudes of workers prepare for the final reaping.
Rev. Jack Yonts spent over thirty-five years of his life training others in the ministry. He was driven by a special burden to help develop young men and women with a call of God on their life. God placed on his heart a strong desire to produce material to help challenge and assist these aspirants to the ministry.
The result of that burden is this series of lessons titled, Passing the Mantle. The two-volume series is designed to help both the aspiring minister/leader and the leader of leaders.
It was Rev. Yonts’ desire that some of his sixty-five years of ministerial experience could be passed on to the next generation. Whether you are aspiring to the ministry yourself or are wanting to train up the next generation of ministers in your church, this series is the place to start.
Jack Yonts was a ledgend.
He was a soul winner, an anointed preacher, a gifted teacher, a wise leader, and a proven maker of men. My life and ministry has been greatly impacted by the insight and inspiration gained through working with this wonderful man of God. Literally hundreds of men and women have received direction and encouragement for the journey through his capable leadership. To the aspiring leader ... As you work your way through this volume of material, made easier to digest because of the use of audio and video, you will find a wealth of instruction and information to assist you in preparation for the most important work on earth--leadership in the church of the living God. To a leader of leaders ... Your task is made much easier because of the cash of research contained herein. The content of this volume is not merely the work of weeks and months; rather it is the accumulative knowledge and experiences of a man who has given his life to producing effective leaders for the work of God. I wholeheartedly recommend Jack Yonts' material on leadership to leaders, and to aspiring leaders at any level, from the international level leader to the aspiring local church leader, and everyone in between!
With this series, a long standing unaddressed need in the Apostolic fellowship has been met.
This work of expertise and experience was born out of a passion, burden, and love for the cause of God and the Apostolic Ministry. Rev. Jack Yonts as a pastor, organizational official and leader of men was a mentor to thousands of preachers around the world. His time proven, God honored principles and perceptions are shared with all in this timely presentation. My relationship with him as a young pastor both enlarged and enriched my life. Thank you Rev. Yonts for your commitment of time and labor to give us this rich resource and reference for being bigger and better for God—both ourselves and those we lead.
