In the early church, apostles and evangelists were often sent by the Holy Spirit or through the laying on of hands by church leaders (Acts 13:2-3). The concept of being "sent" is rooted in the Old Testament, where prophets were called and sent by God to deliver His messages (Isaiah 6:8). The Greek word for "sent" (apostellō) is the root of the term "apostle," indicating a messenger with a specific mission.
