Elders
Acts 14:19-23
Then some Jews came from Antioch and
Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him
outside the city, thinking he was dead.
But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went
back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of
disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,
strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to
the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom
of God," they said.
Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with
prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put
their trust.

Acts 6:1-5
|
In those days when the
number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them
complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being
overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It
would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God
in order to wait on tables.
Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full
of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to
them
and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."
This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man
full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor,
Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
