Famous People In The Early Church

Last week, we learned about famous people that helped Paul and people in the Early Church(his real name was Saul)spread the word of God. My group's poster was about Peter. He was a fisherman and he was the first apostle that was chosen by Jesus.

Here are some facts that were not on the poster. Some of them might be on the poster. 

-Peter's friends were tormented by the Roman Emperor Nero.

-Peter was a fisherman.

-Jesus chose Peter because the name "Peter" meant rock or stone, which Jesus said that he will build his church on the rock.
