Even during seasons of persecution, the early Christians did not let up on sharing the Word of God with people. This is the main mission of the Church, that is, to build people’s faith in Christ by sharing the Word of God with them. We see them preaching Jesus, and hear their witness that God was with them, and that a great number of people believed their testimonies and turned to the Lord. The result of their ministry was people turned toward the Lord. They gave Jesus their faces and not their backs. Praise the Lord!
“Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the Word to no one but the Jews only. But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.” Acts 11:19-21
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
