Acts 8, Part 2

Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian Eunuch provides examples of effective evangelism:
  • Being sensitive and obedient to God's leading 
  • Initiating with good opening question 
  • Answering questions directly and starting from where the person is at 
  • Using Scripture and focusing on Christ  
When called to leave his amazing ministry in Samaria to go to the old desert road from Jerusalem to Gaza, Philip didn't give excuses or question why.  Through his obedience, he was able to lead the Ethiopian Eunuch to belief in Christ; and Historians cite the Ethiopian Eunuch as one who spread the Church into Africa.
