Passing the Baton: How to equip the next generation of pastors and teachers

The Bible makes clear that the nurture of the next generation of gospel preachers should take place within the local church, under the care of the pastors of the flock. But what does this look like? What will it involve? What kind of investment is demanded? This short and practical book unpacks the responsibility and opportunity of the church and her pastors to invest in future preachers and teachers, passing on the baton to those being raised up to serve God.

“I have two significant concerns as I look at the way men are pursuing a call into the ministry. My first concern is a lack of pastors investing time and resources to raise men up within their churches. My second concern is a lack of churches seeing their biblical responsibility to raise men up for ministry service. This is why the book you hold in your hands is so timely and important. This one book, Passing the Baton, addresses both of these critical areas and gives insightful and practical counsel on how pastors and churches can effectively raise up and equip the next generation of pastors, evangelists, and missionaries. Jeremy Walker has been faithfully mentored by older men as well as diligent to mentor others himself. He is a qualified and needed voice on what has become a lost focus in the modern church. Walker's advice is sound, wise, and biblical. I commend both the author and this book.” Brian Croft: Founder, Practical Shepherding
