Acts 6:1-15
This chapter illustrates how the new church grew in numbers and added ministries such as a soup kitchen. The apostles did not want to neglect their main purpose of sharing the gospel in order to take care of this ministry, so they chose seven men to oversee it. One of those men was Stephen, who was known for his great wisdom, being full of the Spirit, and having a good reputation. He even performed signs and wonders because of his strong faith in God. It's important to note that the disciples were not only the 12 initially selected by Jesus, but included all those who believed in Jesus as the apostles spoke to them.
