Here are some of the main activities of this Period:
 * Fall 28 AD - Appointment of the 12 Apostles – a strategic development of multiplication of leadership (apostle means “Sent One”):
 * Have someone read Luke 6:12-16 and point out the different groups of people mentioned as the passage unfolds:  Jesus, his disciples, 12 appointed out of them, another large crowd of his disciples, a multitude of people seeking Jesus.
 * Have someone read Mark 3:13-19 and ask the group to identify the 3 points of the job description of the 12 Apostles: That they – 1. might be with Him (relationship), 2. be sent to preach (clear mission), 3. have authority to cast out demons (delegated authority)
 * While in prison, John hears of Jesus growing momentum: Matthew 11:2-19
 * Jesus takes the 12 out on mission as a single well-resourced mission team 
 * Read Luke 8:1-3, ask: “Can you identify the emerging organizational structure of Jesus’ ministry?” [Jesus, the 12, women who provided support]
 * Jesus sends the 12 Apostles out as 6 mission teams of two, while he continues touring with others in training: Luke 9:1-6 (Matthew 10:1-42; Mark 6:7-11)
