identification is representative of the kind of attitude that brought Jesus Christ to earth to complete an unselfish mission. People want to be with and learn from this type of person. Jesus’s incarnational model sets the standard for all Christian workers, yesterday, today, and forever. Incarnational ministry, driven by inward identification, helps create meaningful relationships, increasing ministry potential because it addresses what Marvin Mayers (1987) identified as the “prior question of trust” (PQT).
