Discussion Questions
  1. Why do you think God often allows movements to begin before sending a chosen leader to guide them
  2. How does Paul's appointment as "apostle to the Gentiles" strengthen the validity of earlier Gentile conversions?
  3. Can you think of present-day examples, either in missions or local congregations, where God raised up leaders after the work had already begun?
