Introduction:
Congregations in the First Century are an example to us.  The Apostles, whom were guided by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13), set in order a plan for congregations to have elders Acts 14:23 and Titus 1:5.  Those elders would need to be qualified Titus 1:6-9 and I Timothy 3:1-7.  Yet, there was obviously a time in which a congregation would not have a plurality of qualifed men.  What then were they to do, and what should those congregations today do that do not have qualified men to serve.
