"Apostle" works here:
An apostle (/əˈpɒsəl/), in its most literal sense, is an emissary, from Greek ἀπόστολος (apóstolos), literally "one who is sent off", from the verb ἀποστέλλειν (apostéllein), "to send off".[1] The purpose of such sending off is usually to convey a message, and thus "messenger" is a common alternative translation; other common translations include "ambassador" and "envoy".

"in" suggests something new but just go with "of"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi David, thank you for your input. What do you think about Apostle in public life? I was thinking that the Bible refers to Jesus´public and private life. However your reference (Robin Griffith) uses the term Public affairs and it is therefore a better translation. Just would like to have your opinion.
