The Israelites of the Bible used the word Gentiles in reference to any persons who were not Israelites. Jesus himself also used the word in this context.
I know of no patron saint of the gentiles. However, St. Paul is called the Apostle of the Gentiles.
God has His times and seasons. Actually there were a few Gentiles that received salvation in the Old Testament. Rahab in the Book of Joshua was one and Ruth in the Book of Ruth was another. There were more, but this was the exception to the rule. During Jesus' time on earth more Gentiles are mentioned and then finally when the Jewish people rejected Jesus as the Messiah it was time for the Gentile to be accepted by God on a different basis, although Salvation has always come by faith in God, God created a time when mostly Gentiles could come to Him freely and in great numbers. Salvation to the Gentiles was mentioned in the Old Testament a number of times, but the timing was God's.

The "times of the Gentiles" refers to a period of Gentile dominance and control over Jerusalem, as mentioned in the Bible. The "fullness of the Gentiles" refers to the completion of the Gentiles coming to faith in God. In biblical prophecy, it is believed that the "times of the Gentiles" will end when the "fullness of the Gentiles" is reached, leading to a restoration of Jerusalem and the fulfillment of God's plan.
The Disciples of Christ are Christian, from the Protestant branch of Christianity. Jewish people generally do not believe that "Christ" has come yet, and those people who do believe he came are called Christians (followers of Jesus Christ). So, the Disciples of Christ would be gentiles, since they are not Jews. It is worth noting that "Disciples of Christ" is the name of a particular church, not a general term for those who follow Christ.
Luke writer of the gospel also wrote for the Gentiles
Christianity is the religion of the "gentiles"
