Author Frank Damazio defines the characteristics, function and motivation of vanguard leadership and encourages leaders everywhere to break free from the stagnation, mediocrity and complacency of the past. God’s eternal purpose will be accomplished by a church that is prepared to face the unprecedented challenge and change of this era. The Vanguard Leader sets a bold new standard and charts a clear course for those navigating the troubled waters of the twenty-first century.

The Scripture says in Ephesians 2:20 that we "are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Cornerstone". The word apostolic is not theological perspective or a doctrinal viewpoint. It is a functional word. It is the function of those who posses the anointing and who are walking within the confines of apostolicity. The apostolic ministry is one of the things that has been restored to the church in this hour. The founding and grounding nature of the apostolic ministry and its anointing calls for identifying and equipping those qualified for leadership over the multiple works apostolic men are sent to establish. The apostolic identification requires knowledge, standards, skills, recognition, resources, discernment, and training requisites. In this powerful book, you will learn and really understand the fullness of the apostolic ministry, its anointing, strategies and its applications.
