When it came time for God to send His son to earth, he did not send Him to the place of some mighty king. He was conceived in the womb of an unwed mother, a virgin, who lived in the lowly village of Nazareth.
In choosing those who would represent Christ and establish His church, God picked some of the most unusual individuals imaginable: unschooled fishermen, a tax collector, a mystic, a doubter, and a former Pharisee who had persecuted Christians. He continued to pick some very unusual persons down through the ages. In fact, He seems to delight in such surprising choices to this very day.
So, let God be the God. Expect the unexpected.
