But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, "Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza." Acts 8:26
The message of the angel was for Philip to go see a man from Ethiopia who was traveling. At the end of this story, the Ethiopian who connects with Philip, hears of Jesus, believes, and is baptized. This is just one of many examples where God equips people to spread the good news. Even Jesus sent Saul to be taught by Ananias. The example seems to be clear. God has chosen people to spread the good news of Jesus. Jesus, angels, and the Holy Spirit, stand ready to equip us for the task, but not to do it for us.
