He defended the faith and became Christianity’s first martyr. Stephen lived a life full of faith, performing miracles, boldly telling others about Jesus and even serving with others to help widows in their time of need.

However, the gospel could not be stopped, as his martyrdom caused the gospel to be pushed outside the city walls of Jerusalem and into the surrounding region. Written to inspire children to witness boldly for Jesus Christ, God’s Courageous Witness is a reminder of the Holy Spirit’s power when we face opposition for the Lord’s sake.
