English term or phrase: the early Church hit hard
Se me ocurre "la iglesia primitiva impactó fuertemente" pero "impacto" puede sonar negativo.

¡Gracias por adelantado a sus sugerencias!

-----
We recognize that this is a spiritual ministry and therefore we do not operate in our own strength or rely on our abilities.

We are led and empowered by the Holy Spirit who is the one that emboldens us to share the Good News.

This agrees with the constant use of the word "boldness" in Acts, as the early Church *hit hard and was "not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ."

The people of the New Testament were not quite mindless fanatics trying to club everybody in sight. They were Spirit-led, and the Spirit didn't lead them to everyone. But the ones He did point out got the full dose.
