There have been faithful Christians whose love for and commitment to the Lord make their light shine through so greatly that others around them take notice--Stephen was such a man. Nothing is known about Stephen’s personal life. Nothing about his parents nor and if he had any siblings, wife, or children; however, what is known about him is what is truly important. Acts 6:5 introduces Stephen as "a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit." He was the first deacon to be chosen by the twelve Apostles because he was faithful, even when faced with certain death.
