Explain the story of the Ethiopian eunuch?
The name of the Ethiopian eunuch is not known. All that is known is that he was an unmarried man who was devoted to his master. He also would have been a convert to Judaism and was going to worship in the Temple in Jerusalem. (Acts 8:26-39)
Who was the first black christian?
His name is Bakos. He is an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. The name wasn't mentioned in the bible but is still famous in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church and the church has many reference for this part of the bible and the whole. You can find the story in Acts 8:26. Philip the Apostle taught him and finally baptised him. According to Church Scholars, Bakos is the first person who took the knowledge of Christianity out of the middle East and introduced to the outside world, even before the Apostles did it.
After Philip baptized the Ethiopian how did he get to Azotus where he went to preach?
In biblical times, books were kept as short as possible, so that they could fit onto one scroll of papyrus. The trip from Gaza, where Acts says that Philip baptised the eunuch, to Azotus (Ashdod) was unimportant and hardly worth recounting, but the author of Luke and Acts was good at miracles. As soon as Philip had baptised the eunuch, he disappeared and reappeared in Azotus, by the Spirit of the Lord (Acts 8:39-40).
How does the Acts passage show that God is expecially interested in the individual?
Throughout the Book of Acts God showed us how he was interested in bringing individuals to Him. One story when He inspired Peter and converting 3000 people in one day. Another example is when the Ethiopian eunuch converted after hearing Philip witness to Christ.

Was Potiphar a eunuch?
Well, yes and no....the Hebrew word for eunuch was 'saris'. It meant a 'court official', and THIS, Potiphar certainly was. However, often, the word eunuch referred to a 'court official' who had been castrated, usually because his job entailed caring for the women in a king's harem. In Potiphar's case, he was the chief of the body guard, nothing to do with the harems, and he was not a eunuch in that physical sense. For one thing, he was a married man. Genesis 39:1-9. (Another reference to a 'court official'(eunuch/'saris') who was NOT castrated was the Ethiopian Eunuch at Acts 8:27-39. He had been a Jewish proselyte, worshiping at the Temple in Jerusalem, and could therefore NOT have been castrated(Deuteronomy 23:1). He was just a court official (a man in power)under the rulership of Candace the Queen.
