The evangelist Philip preached to the Samaritans (Acts 8:5), and many of them believed in Christ. The apostle Peter preached to the Gentile household of Cornelius (Acts 10), and they, too, received the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul (the former persecutor of the church) spread the gospel all over the Greco-Roman world, reaching as far as Rome itself (Acts 28:16) and possibly all the way to Spain.
Si muda mrefu baada ya Pentekoste, milango ya kanisa ilifunguliwa kwa mashirika yasiyo ya Kiyahudi. Mhubiri Filipo alihubiri kwa Wasamaria (Matendo 8:5), na wengi wao waliamini katika Kristo. Mtume Petro alihubiria watu wa mataifa mengine katika nyumba ya Kornelio (Matendo 10), na wao, pia, walipokea Roho Mtakatifu. Mtume Paulo (mtesa kanisa wa zamani) alieneza Injili duniani kote hekaya za Kirumi, na kufikia hata Roma yenyewe (Matendo 28:16) na pengine hadi Hispania yote.
