Acts 8:26-40

We are now introduced to the Ethiopian man, a very important man , a kind of Butler to a queen. By the time all is over this man believed in Christ and was baptized, and rejoicingly went back to his own country. Historically this is the start of Christianity in his home country. History seems to tell us that there is a working Christian people that probably came from his testimony.
