* '''Matthew and Bartholomew'''. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has the tradition that they introduced Christianity to the Ethiopian people.[4]
* '''Philip'''. The ''Acts of Apostles'' has the narrative of Philip converting to Christianity an Ethiopian treasurer who was visiting what is now Israel. There is some reason to believe Christianity may have first been introduced to Ethiopia with that event: * "Then the angel of the Lord said to Philip, Start out and go south to the road that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza. So he set out and was on his way when he caught sight of an Ethiopian. This man was a eunuch, a high official of the Kandake (Candace) Queen of Ethiopia in charge of all her treasure." (Acts, 8:26–27)
* '''James'''. According to Spanish tradition, he brought Christianity to Spain. He is the patron saint of Spain.[5]
* '''Andrew'''. According to tradition, Andrew brought Christianity to what is now modern-day Ukraine, along the coast of the Black Sea. It was is held that he travelled up the Dnieper River to what is now Kiev. He is the patron saint of Ukraine and Russia.[8]
