“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” According to the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:11-12, the Body of Christ is called to many different fields of ministry.

In addition, they must be able to train others in the Bible and disciple
