What is it to be an Apostle of Christ

Being a apostle of Jesus mean the we have to spread his word to everyone no matter who they are or were they come from. It is a big responsibility to up hold. Be caring and kind to all the people you meet. To be an apostle of Christ is to proclaim the word of the Lord. Just like the Apostles, some who were martyrs, one must follow their faith and spread the teachings of Jesus. This is all found in chapter 1 section 4 in the Ave Maria Press Jesus and the Church Textbook. The Greek word koinonia describes the life of the early Church. Led by the Holy Spirit, the early Christians lived as one community—working, celebrating, preaching, and worshiping together. The early Church in Jerusalem was also active in service.

Pintrest Board
In this Pinterest board we have prayers, inspirational quotes and information about Jesus's mission and his apostles. With this board we can emphasize and demonstrate that with our faith we can overcome obstacles.
According to the textbook, St. Stephen and St. James the Apostle were the first Christian martyrs. St. Stephen was condemned to death by Jewish authorities for preaching the Gospel. He was thrown out and condemned to death. This can be also seen in Acts 6:8-7:60. The Apostle Philip is also mentioned in took. He preached in Samaria and traveled throughout the Roman Empire. These apostles have earned their significance in history since they proclaimed their faith and died for it. They preferred to follow their faith and they didn't listen to others.

New Evangelization
The New Evangelization's goal is to reach out many distant Catholics. The idea is to move Christians to be closer to God by praying and worshipping him. It calls people to deepen our faith and proclaim the word of the Lord. This is relevant to the campaign because it reminds people that good deeds are essential to become a better person and get closer to God. With the campaign, people will allow themselves to become more devoted Apostles, who think of Him everyday.

How do Catholics not fully practice their faith?
Catholics do no fully practice their faith due to many reasons. It can be due to lack of time, negative influences, or just not fully educated on their faith. Catholic practices can be seen as very intricate and difficult. With many sacraments and holy days of obligation a practicing catholic can be caught up in their spiritual and social life. As well as other reasons such as not agreeing with other parts of their faith or not believing fully. People also fall into sin which causes them to loose faith.

ObJectives
Apostles traveled to all parts of the known world to proclaim Christianity as stated in the book Acts of The Apostles. Jesus proclaimed the word of the Lord by fulfilling his mission and ministry by teaching and helping others. This was then passed on to the apostles so that they could do the same. Jesus traveled with his apostles so he could preach to the people of the land and he appointed petter to be the leader of the new church.
Peter- Jesus founded his church into Peter; Peters early ministry and leadership consisted mostly of power speeches around Jerusalem. He became a part of council of Jerusalem.
Paul- Paul was converted after Christ rising. Paul first preached in Damascus, Syria, traveled to Arabia, and then returned to Damascus where he stayed for three years.
Andrew- Evangelized Byzantium, appointed Stachys the first Bishop of Byzantium, and was crucified in Patras, Greece.
The role/mission of today's in light of the New Evangelization are 1) to proclaim the Gospel 2) worship as a community 3) to mature and prepare the believers to be able to perform works of ministry 4) to influence and represent the interests and influence our society with God ideals.

Early chUrch vs. today's church
The difference between the two is that the early church was more focused in creating this new group of believers and today's church they are trying to make it grow and straight.

Historical context
The main events in Jesus' commission and establishment was when he demonstrated the miracles of God. He healed a blind man and brought back a man from the dead. All these miracles explain why peoples should follow God. Since all of these teachings were spreading, the Catholic Church was established. In the Bible, it explains some of the teachings and messages Jesus taught his disciples.
