Apostles, The Fathers, the Disciples, the Saints and the "Believers of the Way," who were MARTYRED, put to death for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

  Your blood still speaks to us today.

  Some History.

  The Apostle Luke, the author of the Book of Acts wrote it while Paul was in prison in Rome in 60 AD. Paul started writing letters from prison, (house arrest) in Rome, to the churches he had visited. This inspired Luke to start writing his Gospel account of the Life of Jesus Christ and the Book of Acts. Luke had travelled extensively with Paul and was therefore well acquainted with Paul's journeys for him to give an accurate account. To some scholars, the Book of Acts was written to early as Paul continued to travel and preach after it was written. They could be deemed as Paul's forth Missionary Journeys.

  Here is Paul's history and travels after the Book of Acts was written:

  Paul arrived in Rome in February 60 AD. He was imprisoned, under house arrest from his arrival in Rome until March 62 AD. During this time he wrote Ephesians 60 AD, Colossians and Philemon 61 AD, Philippians 62 AD. If Paul wrote Hebrews it was written at this time in 60 AD. After his house arrest in 62 AD, Paul went on to visit:

  Ephesus and Colosse in 62 AD.

  Macedonia in 62 - 63 AD. (1st Timothy written 62 AD.)

  Asia Minor in 63 - 64 AD. (Great fire in Rome 64 AD, Christians were put to death.)

  Spain in 64 - 66 AD.

  Asia Minor 66 AD. (Titus written.)

  Nicopolis in 66 - 67 AD.

  Macedonia and Greece 67 AD.

  Arrested and brought back to Rome 67 AD.

  (2nd Timothy was written from prison in Rome in 67 AD.)

  Paul's death in 68 AD.
