“As pastors, we need to recruit, and we need to develop- before we launch anyone into any ministry. So, if I’m a pastor that I don’t have a Faith Avenue Champion, and I’m looking for someone to start my Connect Groups, or to get it going in the Faith Avenue. The first thing I would do is to start praying, recruiting, and whoever I think the Lord is leading me to, I would take an inventory of gifts…I wouldn’t want someone leading something they haven’t experienced before. So, I would invite this person to join me in a small group, and to take them through the Apprentice Square.” – Heber Ticas, GCI Superintendent of Latin American churches
