God has placed these in the church.

There are different ministries, but the same Lord. (1 Cor. 12:5 )
Azmaveth son of Adiel was in charge of the king's storehouses. Jonathan son of Uzziah was in charge of the storehouses in the country, in the cities, in the villages, and in the fortresses.  Ezri son of Chelub was in charge of those who worked in the fields tilling the soil.  Shimei the Ramathite was in charge of the vineyards. Zabdi the Shiphmite was in charge of the produce of the vineyards for the wine cellars. Jaziz the Hagrite was in charge of the flocks. All these were officials in charge of King David's property.
 (1 Chr. 27:25-27, 31 )
And God has placed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next, miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, managing, various kinds of languages. (1 Cor. 12:28 ) But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each one as He wills. (1 Cor. 12:11 )
Based on the gift they have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, [his speech should be] like the oracles of God; if anyone serves, [his service should be] from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (1 Pet. 4:10, 11 )

Eph 4:11-12 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

Rom 12:6-7 According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the standard of faith; 7 if service, in service; if teaching, in teaching;

The Church is well equipped.
