How the Ethiopian church likely started
But an angel of the lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go along south on the highway going down to Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a deserted place. And rising up he went. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, an official of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship. Acts 8:26-27
And as they were going along the highway they came on some water. And the eunuch said, Behold, water. What prevents me to be baptized? And Philip said, If you believe from all the heart, it is lawful. And answering he said, I believe Jesus Christ to be the son of GOD. And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. But when they came up out of the water, the spirit of the lord caught away Philip. And the eunuch did not see him any more; for he went his way rejoicing. Acts 8:36-39
