In Acts, Saul of Tarsus, persecutor of the Church, has a dramatic encounter with the Risen Christ, becomes Paul the apostle and immediately begins proclaiming Jesus as the Christ. Paul becomes a missionary, a writer, and one of the most influential Christians! His ministry is marked by preaching, trouble wherever he goes, beatings, imprisonments, shipwrecks, miracles and thousands led to Jesus. Paul lays the foundation for the Church while fulfilling the Great Commission to the Gentiles.
