Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages. This is Philip who was one of Jesus’ disciples. Philip preached the good news of Jesus in many places. One day an angel of the Lord spoke to him and said, “Go south down the desert road.” So Philip started out and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia. The man had gone to Jerusalem to worship and he was now returning to Ethiopia. He was in his carriage reading the book of Isaiah out loud. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.” Philip ran over and heard the man reading and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” The man replied, “How can I, unless someone teaches me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. The Ethiopian asked Philip, “Tell me, was Isaiah talking about himself or someone else?” So beginning with this Scripture in Isaiah, Philip told the Ethiopian the Good News about Jesus. As they rode along, they came to some water and the Ethiopian said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?” He ordered the carriage to stop and they went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away and took him to another town. The Ethiopian never saw Philip again but went on his way rejoicing.
