Deacons

Acts 6:1–4Loading... And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

I heard someone say that these were not deacons but I think otherwise I do believe these men were the first Deacons. We find these men throughout scripture being faithful to God.

Stephen was a Deaco...
