General Description:

Paul Thigpen

From the first century to the present day, Church history is speckled with the lifeblood of those who loved Jesus more than life itself. Encounter the faith of early believers such as Stephen and Paul. Marvel at the courage of those killed by pagan kings. Travel alongside early missionaries, whose deaths inspired others to come to faith. Mourn the unthinkable tragedy of Christians warring against other Christians. Finally, meet contemporary men and women whose lives were lived in service to Christ and whose deaths are precious in his sight.

St. Stephen

First Christian Martyr. Deacon. Preacher. All we know of him is related in the Acts of the Apostles. While preaching the Gospel in the streets, angry Jews who believed his message to be blasphemy dragged him outside the city, and stoned him to death. In the crowd, on the side of the mob, was a man who would later be known as Saint Paul.
