He chose men like: loud Peter. Matthew, already unpopular as a governmental person, that ripped off the people. Thomas is now known as a doubter. We all know Judas betrayed Jesus. Look around the room during your Bible study or those in your small group or maybe down the pew. You will see God chooses a variety of Human beings to call and send.
He soon sent these guys off to share the good news and heal the sick. It seems to me, that was a well rounded ministry. They returned with good reports.
While fasting and praying, in the Book of Acts. The Holy Spirit called out Paul and Barnabas, and then the church sent them on their way.
We can doubt it or question God's decision, but God calls you and empowers us, for connection with God, others in the Church, and to do service in the community.
