A distant African kingdom — the Ethiopian eunuch was one of the first Gentile converts
East AfricaIn the Bible, 'Ethiopia' often refers to the ancient kingdom of Cush, south of Egypt. The Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace (queen), was reading Isaiah on the road from Jerusalem when Philip explained the gospel and baptized him (Acts 8:26-39). Ethiopia represents the 'ends of the earth' theme in Scripture — God's salvation reaching the farthest nations.
