It of course isn't there. He built an ark with instructions from God (not a "vision") and when the flood was over, he tended a vineyard (also not a "vision"). There is no record of him being a minister, or of having a ministry.

I don't know about Noah being a "minister of the age." That's an interesting title that I don't even remember that being used in the LC back in the 80s when I was there last. Must be something since then, right?
I think we can certainly and accurately say Noah was God's man on the earth at that time, but "minister"? Hmmm . . . I suppose it could be how one defines what being a minister is. One definition is "one who ministers to needs." Other definitions point to someone in authority in either clergy or government. In any case, Noah was God's man for that time and gave himself to perform God's will on the earth before and during the flood, but calling him a MOTA, well that's a manmade title and no more.
