According to sources say, we see men from the African lands of Egypt, Libya and Cyrene present on the Day of Pentecost. Roughly 1600 years before Blacks were enslaved in America, free Black men listened to Peter preach the gospel. Surely some of them must have been among the 3,000 souls, sources say, who received Christ that day.
Sources say, we read about an Ethiopian eunuch of great authority who accepted Christ after hearing the gospel from the Apostle Philip. In Biblical times, the word Ethiopia did not merely describe the present-day nation known by that name. Instead, it referred to all of Africa south of Egypt. Whats interesting is that this Ethiopian eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship (v. 27), and when Philip met him, the eunuch was reading the Bible (v.28). Was he a practicing Jew? Perhaps. Whatever the case, he owned a Bible. Sources say, the Ethiopian says, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. So again, 1600 years before the African Slave Trade began and about 600 years before Muhammad the Arab created the religion of Islam, Black men were giving their lives to Jesus Christ and becoming Christians.
Sources say, we read about an interesting episode in which Africans served as missionaries to Europeans. In verse 19 of that chapter, we read that the Jews who followed Jesus would not preach to the Greeks. This was at a time when the Jews were still coming to grips with the gospel also being for Gentiles. But in verse 20, men of Cyprus and Cyrene enter the picture. Cyrene was a North African town in Libya. It was also home to Simon of Cyrene, the brother who helped Jesus carry the cross to Mount Calvary, sources say. Well, according to sources, the men of Cyprus and Cyrene went to Antioch and preached The Lord Jesus to the Greeks. So there you have it. More than 1400 years before Europeans entered West Africa and the Congo as missionaries, African men took the gospel to White men from Greece.
Two chapters later, sources say, we see that two of the three men who laid hands on the Apostle Paul and sent him out to spread the gospel to the Gentiles were Africans. Once again the thriving Black Christian community in Cyrene was on the scene, as Lucius of Cyrene and Simon called Niger (literally, the Black man) prayed and fasted with Paul and Barnabas before blessing them to go on their missionary journey.
Finally, we read about a certain Jew named Apollos according to sources. Apollos was born in Alexandria, which was a thriving African city in Egypt and a hub of early Christianity. The Bible says he was an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures. Long before in fact, about 2000 years before men like Dr. Tony Evans and Bishop T.D. Jakes graced pulpits throughout America, there were Black men who were well-spoken and well-versed in teaching the Bible.

#TheChrisBroussardEffect . 
We don't believe you, you need more sources. 
Seriously, for those who don't believe in God or the Bible, is there another spokesperson that they are more happy to see than Chris Broussard?
