The Book of Acts is filled with many wonderful stories of how God worked in the lives of people. At the beginning, the disciples were afraid but, after they received the Holy Spirit, they were empowered to preach the good news of Jesus to many people. Thousands of people believed and were publicly baptized. There was some opposition to this but the persecution that followed only caused the gospel to be spread into the rest of the world. One such case involved a believer named Philip. He was one of the original deacons in the church at Jerusalem. After some time, he began preaching about Jesus in other places. In Acts 8:5-8,12, we find that he had been preaching the gospel to the people of Samaria. It was a wonderful time when many believed and were baptized.
After such a great ministry, God decided to move Philip to another place-an unexpected place-so that another person could hear about Jesus and be saved. We read about this in Acts 8:26-40.
