A Life Extinguished & A Kingdom Expanding

"The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." This old saying is filled with gospel truth. The Sanhedrin thought that murdering Stephen would silence his message.

But instead of extinguishing it, God used Stephen's death and the persecution that followed to ignite a wildfire of missionary zeal that has not abated until the present day!
