Who is Philip?

What was taking place in Acts chapters 6 & 7 that caused the church to feel persecution and threats?

“Sometimes we have to become uncomfortable before we’ll move. We may not want to experience it, but discomfort may be the best thing for us because God maybe working through our pain. When you are tempted to complain about uncomfortable or painful circumstances, stop and ask if God might be preparing you for a special task.”
Life Application Commentary (135)

Philip not only spread the good news of the Gospel to Samaria, but he followed the leading of the Holy Spirit to speak to a foreigner, too. What impact may this have had in a different continent?
