Period 1 -- Preparation

Stage of Ministry

Period 1: Preparation: around 4 B.C. – 26 AD


Preparing for a life and movement of multiplication

This period lasts from Jesus’ birth around 4 BC to about 30 years of age. This period is characterized by the following:

 

The passion of His heart was pure. His purpose was clear. The ministry process He decided on was simple. He would connect with the lost, win them to Himself, build them in what it means to be a follower, train them in fishing for others and send them to multiply the same process with others.
Jesus determined that He would seek out and work through the people His Father had prepared.
