Who is qualified to be a pastor or an evangelist or any other leadership position in the church? Angus says that when we give our lives to the Lord and repent of our sins, we qualify for service in the Lord’s work, no matter who we are or our status in life. God is looking for ordinary people like you and me to carry out His divine purposes on earth, namely to spread the word of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
