Acts 8
"Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went"
In chapter 7 Stephen is put to death. His death is the beginning of a persecution of Christians in Jerusalem. The persecution forces Christians to flee to the surrounding countryside. Chapter 8 tells stories of how they proclaimed the gospel in these new areas.
This is a great example of how God can turn something that is bad, Stephen's death and the following persecution, to something that is good, the expansion of the gospel. The story is also gives us a glimpse of how the early Christians were always looking for opportunities to share what God had done through Jesus Christ. Wherever they went, they looked for opportunities to share their faith.
