The scriptures do not mention any work being done in Africa. Paul was the great travelling missionary, his journyings taking him as far as Rome. Let it not be said that the great continent of Africa has been neglected by the Christian church, as many thousands of missionaries have preached the gospel there in these latter days.

Another Answer:

Secular history, particularly that of the Greeks records Simon the Zealot going to Northern Africa. Simon "directed his journey toward Egypt, then to Cyrene, and Africa ... and throughout Mauritania and all Libya, preaching the gospel.... Nor could the coldness of the climate benumb his zeal, or hinder him from whipping himself and the Christian doctrine over to the WESTERN Islands, yea, even to Britain itself. Here he preached and wrought many miracles...." Nicephorus and Dorotheus both wrote, "that he went at last into BRITAIN, and ... was crucified ... and buried there" (p. 203 of Cave's "Antiq. Apost.").

We must remember the command Jesus gave to His Apostles when He first sent them out. All but Paul were forbidden to go to the Gentiles but rather to the 'lost House of Israel:

Matthew 10:5-6New King James Version (NKJV) Sending Out the Twelve5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

So by simple reasoning then, if an Apostle visited Northern Africa which included the 'Barbary Coast and Numidia along with Egypt, Mauritania and Libya, one may conclude that some of the dispersed Northern Kingdom of 721 BC escaped to this region. A medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth records a battle of an African King Gormund against the Saxons in Ireland. Some assume this vast invasion was of Negroes or Arabs, but the 'Universal History (1748-Vol. xviii, p. 194), were Nordics who came from where Simon had preached - Mauritania and North Africa - descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel.

Shouldn't the name Jesus Christ be Jesus the Christ?

That is a wonderful question, but the Bible does not use much punctuation, so in reality, speaking of the grammar, it is suppose to be written Jesus, Christ. not Jesus Christ. As many references in the KJV of the Bible, is Christ Jesus, written correctly Christ, Jesus, or Jesus, Christ. It is referring to Christ.
