God had sent Philip away from his popular and effective mission in Samaria (Acts 8:5-8), to a desert road (Acts 8:26). The Lord gave no further instruction until Philip saw a chariot with a high-ranking official sitting down and reading a scroll. "Go to that chariot and stay near it", the Lord said (Acts 8:29). As Philip approached, he heard the man, the chief finance minister for Kush (where Sudan is now but then called Ethiopia), reading aloud. The words more closely match the Greek translation of Isaiah chapter 53.

“There has been days over the last two years that I have found it very difficult to go into work because I was being bullied by another member of staff but I did not want to tell anyone, so I would sit in my car, in the staff car park and read word @ work , Gods word and the explanation gave me the strength to continue going into work, things have now turned round in a way one could not expect or believe, this is gods power which if I had not had Gods word to read I am sure things would have turn out a lot different - I truly give thanks to all those that sacrifice their time so word @ work is and pray that it continues because the impact that it has is awesome.”
