Jesus had his twelve close disciples called the Twelve Apostles, who carried the message further. but it was John the Baptizer who was sent as a forerunner to prepare the way for Jesus' introduction as the promised Messiah.
The twelve disciples and all who believe their message. That means you and me if we believe in Jesus.
Apostle literally means, one sent forth with a message. Jesus' 12 disciples, in Matthew 10 were sent forth by Jesus as apostles carrying the message of Jesus. For quite awhile they were the only apostles carrying this message, as the church was just beginning. Note that Jesus himself was also called an apostle, in Hebrews 3. He was "sent forth" by God, with a message and purpose.
we, christians, are Jesus' disciples, we are supposed to share our faith and tell everyone about the gospel.
The twelve who travelled with Jesus were his disciples humble fishermen.
There is a lot of church sponsored humanitarian work--for example, Habitat for Humanity. Showing love for people all over the world is the essence of Jesus' message, as far as I'm concerned.
In a single word, 'Love.'
In a single word, 'Love.'
Either they do not trust your message or they do not trust Jesus'.
Jesus himself had little or no impact on the Romans. He had very little contact with them in his lifetime. In fact, the Romans did not even know who he was, as they had to have someone (Judas) point him out before they could arrest him. It was the followers of Jesus who carried his message to Rome.Jesus himself had little or no impact on the Romans. He had very little contact with them in his lifetime.

The twelve apostles were chosen by Jesus to preach the Gospel. St. Paul was chosen to be the "rock" of the church. Jesus gave him the responsibility to build his church and to essentially recruit people to join.
Yes, the disciples of Jesus were from various backgrounds and tribes. They came from different regions of Israel and had different occupations before becoming followers of Jesus. This diversity among the disciples reflects Jesus's message of inclusivity and outreach to all people.
