Pastor Joel Laswell

The disciples were being trained as they went about the land with Jesus. As they learned the lessons about the kingdom they were often given chances to do the work that they saw Jesus do. Like when he sent them out two by two. They went through what can be called field exercises rather often. Many times they failed but Jesus used such instances to teach a lesson that would be very important later down the road after He was gone. These experiences helped them to prepare for the time of Pentecost. The disciples were given the power of God to do His will and work and they set upon the task of growing the body.
