Philip, like Stephen, was one of the faithful servants in the early church. His ministry lasted beyond one sermon though. God used him to evangelize the Samaritans and lead the first African to faith in Jesus. The first convert from Africa was an Ethiopian!

Stephen and Philip were amazing men. They gave there lives for advancing the gospel message. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and they had extraordinary gifts and abilities from God. The power of God was clearly seen in their lives. It would have been exciting to have known either of them.

Often Paul and Barnabas are credited as being the first missionaries. Clearly, those scattered at Stephen's death carried the mission of Jesus everywhere they went. Philip was exceptional in the work that God lead him too.

Wherever you are today, be a missionary. Who knows what God might do through your witness.
