The Apostolic Canopy is a book that describes the relationship dynamics of the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. This book addresses these individual roles and how they work together to reach and equip God's people to establish his kingdom. For too long the notion that apostles existed only in the first century or so of church history is no longer a valid argument. Today, it is evident that the fivefold ministry is rapidly emerging and mobilizing for the end time revival harvest that will sweep the globe. Apostles play the preeminent role among God's government, hence, the Apostolic Canopy. In this book you will understand the functional and relational dynamics of the Apostolic Canopy model. For you to embrace this model you must first understand and appreciate the role that each of the fivefold ministries plays in a person's life to reach, develop and send them to their destiny. Joel Garcia, a Senior Associate Pastor at the International Church of Las Vegas, for the past fourteen years has been actively involved in just about every facet of local church ministry with the exception of women's ministry. His latest endeavor has been preparing a team and planting of an extension campus in the south area of Las Vegas. In just the first two months the church has grown to over 200 people. Joel is currently pursuing his Master's degree from Regent University in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in executing coaching and mentoring, and has established his own executive coaching and consulting practice for the purpose of equipping church pastors and leaders, and marketplace executives to become more effective leaders. Joel and his wife Robyn have been married for the past 22 years and currently live in the Summerlin Community of Las Vegas with their three wonderful children Ashley, Joeley and Grant. Joel can be contacted at thejogargroup@aol.com.
