Eph 4 Chapter says: "11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:" & 1 Cor 12: 28 says: "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." - Now this is a matter of debate among some people, as there is a doctrine that after the origonal Apostles died, there have been no more new ones & there have been no new miricles either - but according to my opinion God is all powerful & still has the ability to do miricles & place Apostles here on the earth at any time he feels like it. The only person I ever met, who in my opinion is an Apostle - his name is Chuck Smith & he started over 100 churches all over the United States called Calvary Chapel.
So in conclusion; I am not sure, my opinion is yes there are at least one modern day Apostle but other people have other opinions. A good idea is to get on your knees & pray to our heavenly father for the answer that he want's you to have in your own heart - remember Heb 4:16 says: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." and Jas 1:5 says: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
