Story Time:

When Jesus Christ started the His ministry, He felt that He needs special friends that can help Him in this work.   
He needed friends to go everywhere with Him. He had twelve special friends. They were called disciples. 
One day He was standing on the beach by a lake and was watching the fishermen cleaning their nets. So, He called on Peter and Andrew and said: "Come with me. I will let you catch people instead of fish". They immediately left their boat and nets and went after Jesus. He also called James and John and they did the same. So Jesus called Peter, Andrew, John and James (Let the children repeat the names after you).  Then He saw Matthew who was collecting money. Jesus went to have dinner with him and Matthew left all his money and followed Jesus. 
Yes He has five they are: Peter, Andrew, John, James and Matthew. He also chose more friends until He had 12 friends. They were all supposed to help Him preach the word of God.
