Prayerful Choosing

Luke 6:12-13, 17   
12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.  13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:
17 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

Jesus gave a pattern for choosing leaders in His church, beginning with much prayer before choosing and calling them to the work.  Then He brought them to the work to be there for the ministry of word and work.  Though the twelve were unique in history, God always teaches us by examples to lead our steps.
