When persecution arose against the early church, everyone continued to share the gospel! The very thing that arose to crush the church was the catalyst for her expansion! Ordinary everyday believers sharing the good news of Jesus.
Today, if the church is going to prosper, everyone needs to be sharing the good news. The first "missionaries" were not the apostles! The apostles all stayed in Jerusalem. It was everyone else that was scattered. It was everyone else that went all over the region! As a result of this persecution, the gospel spread.
Once again God used difficulty to advance His kingdom. Once again He used regular people like you and me.
