Involvement in ministry in response to a divine call is scripturally ordained in the Bible.  It is a provision of our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in:  (1) evangelization of the world (Mark 16:15-20), (2) worship of God (John 4:23-24), (3) building a body of believers conforming to a life of Christ (Ephesians 4:11, 16), and (4) meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion (Galatians 2:10, 6:10).
