Reading: 

The Reformation of Church Leadership – Chapters 4 & 5 

Writing Assignment: 

Write a 1500-word APA paper covering the following areas:

Develop a Case Study using both the teaching and the biographical research from this course.

· Choose a historical church leader after the Great Reformation (1500) and discuss the Fivefold functions that you observe in their ministry. What are their primary and secondary 5-fold gift/functions? Use biographical examples, course teaching (lecture and textbooks), and  Biblical examples to back up your findings.  What are the personal character strengths and weaknesses/flaws of the leader you selected. How do they relate to the overall fruitfulness/legacy of their lives and their ministry.

· Note: Many of these leaders didn't have a grid or language for the apostolic or the Fivefold, so you will have to look for the primary functions and fruit that came out of their ministry from your biographical research. 

· Use at least three outside resources to complete this assignment. Do not just cut and paste the information you found on the internet, summarize in your own words. You may paste quotes, single paragraphs as long as you properly give credit to the author and cite your source in the References section of your paper. 

· Some leader suggestions: Martin Luther, John Wesley, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, William Wilberforce, Charles Spurgeon, Dwight Moody, William Booth, William Seymour, Carl Barth, Aimée Semple McPherson, Billy Sunday, Watchman Nee, Kathrine Kuhlman, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dennis Bennett, Myles Munroe, Bill Bright, Chuck Smith, John Wimber, Kenneth Copeland, Billy Graham, TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Jack Hayford, Rick Warren OR choose your own.
