Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.”‭‭Laying on of hands can be used as a means to commission people for leadership or service.
