He is there to be a covering for those ministers and ministries. He recognizes the call of God on individual’s lives and helps them come into full time ministry by training, equipping, ordaining and sending.
He believes you can be called into different sectors of our society: Civic (political) Business (marketplace) Ecclesial (local church and support ministries of the local church) as full time ministers.

God is using Apostle John to move those on the left and right sides of the bridge to the center where there can a be balance but also an adventuress pioneer spirit, where leadership can be brought around those unknowns as to stay biblically based, and where people don’t have to be tolerated they can be celebrated.
