‘Amos answered,
“I was no prophet, nor have I belonged to a company of prophets;
I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores.
But the Lord took me from following the flock, and said to me,
Go, prophesy to my people Israel”’ ( Amos 7:12-15).

‘In Christ, you also, who have heard the Word of Truth, the
Gospel of your salvation, and have believed in Him, were
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit’ ( Ephesians 1:3-14).

Jesus Christ summons and sends disciples from His company two by two;
‘Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, proclaiming,
“The Kingdom of heaven is at hand”’ ( Mark 6:7-13; Matthew 10:1-7).
