Of course it does.
Act 13:1 Now there were in Antioch, in the local church, prophets and teachers; Barnabas and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Acts 13:2: And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "SET APART for Me now Barnabas and Saul for THE WORK to which I have called them.
Barnabas and Saul and others were prophets and teachers in the local church (v1). Then Barnabas and Saul were set apart for THE WORK to which the Lord set them apart for. They went out announcing the Word of God to unbelievers, first to the Jews and eventually the Gentiles.

This is almost laughable. The Lord Jesus called some for
the work He intended. Many others in church history have also been called to
the work He intended for them.
Now from this overwhelming Biblical support, we get a tax exempt publishing house that "trains" elders, fires elders, spies on elders, gives trainings, demands cash support from churches, defines the truth, condemns all other churches, demands the use of their books in every church meeting, runs a seminary, prints its own version of the Bible, etc. It's simply amazing what you got out of that one verse.
They are THE WORK. None of the Bible refers to them. They can do whatever they please. Lee basically told us this when he placed his reprobate son Philip in charge of LSM, bringing all other elders and workers under subjection to an unsaved, profligate, immoral man.
But, hey, it's THE WORK. We make our own rules. Even when we are wrong, we are right! By definition, we are always right.
