Philip obeyed God and spread the gospel through both words and miracles. His ministry led a magician to seek the true power of God rather than monetary gain. Philip also shared the gospel with an Ethiopian official, showing obedience in speaking to both individuals and crowds. The early church demonstrated being missional by bringing the joy of God to others.
