Peter was chosen by Jesus to be a ‘disciple’, which means ‘learner;’ and 'apostle', which means a ‘commissioned representative who is sent out’ (Luke 6:13-16). He knew the Jewish law of the Old Covenant; he was devout and strictly religious. But he did not know that Jesus was preparing him to invite Gentiles into God's presence. Neither did he know that the Lord had already told a Gentile Roman Centurion, Cornelius, to invite Peter to explain the gospel to him and his household (Acts 10:1-6).

“There has been days over the last two years that I have found it very difficult to go into work because I was being bullied by another member of staff but I did not want to tell anyone, so I would sit in my car, in the staff car park and read word @ work , Gods word and the explanation gave me the strength to continue going into work, things have now turned round in a way one could not expect or believe, this is gods power which if I had not had Gods word to read I am sure things would have turn out a lot different - I truly give thanks to all those that sacrifice their time so word @ work is and pray that it continues because the impact that it has is awesome.”
