Missional Roll Call

The term "passion" is over-used in today's culture.

Read this:
Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon (called “the black man”), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul. One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Dedicate Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them.” So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way. So Barnabas and Saul were sent out by the Holy Spirit.

Barnabas and Saul exhibit genuine passion.

There are very few names mentioned here.

Notice how personal the spread of the Gospel is here in Acts 13. There is no mass communication here, just passionate and focused communication by a few dedicated people.

It made me wonder, if I were to write an account of the spread of the Good News about Jesus in my town, in my neighborhood, in my city, which names would I write down?
