* '''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:
<blockquote>Then the angel of the Lord said to Philip, '''Start out and go south to the road that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza.'''</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>So he set out and was on his way when he caught sight of an Ethiopian. </blockquote>
<blockquote>Simon born in Cana of Galilee who for his fervent affection for his Master and great zeal that he showed by all means to the Gospel, was surnamed Zelotes, having received the Holy Ghost from above, travelled through Egypt, and Africa, then through Mauretania and all Libya, preaching the Gospel. And the same doctrine he taught to the Occidental Sea, and the Isles called Britanniae.[9]</blockquote>
* '''Matthias'''. After the suicide of Judas Iscariot, Matthias became the 12th apostle. According to tradition, especially among the Greek Orthodox, Matthais brought Christianity to the mountainous region of what is now Central Turkey.[10]
The missionary work and introduction of Christianity to different parts of the world by the apostles is composed a great deal by traditional beliefs in individual Christian communities that trace their knowledge of Christianity to different apostles. However, the beliefs are not required beliefs for the entire Christian community
