Question

Give an example after the biblical period when God advanced His purpose even though His people showed themselves unwilling to be sent as missionaries.

Answer 1

Acts 8:1-4 persecution along with Stephens martyrdom caused the people to scatter, preaching the word wherever they went.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Act chapter 8 verse 1-4, it was recorded that after the death of Stephens, the early church suffered persecution in Jerusalem, this caused the early converts of the church to scatter abroad and in the process continued to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ wherever they went. This is an example of when God advanced His purpose even though His people showed themselves unwilling to be sent as missionaries.
