Every person in this world is important to God.

He is “…Not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9

This is why God had Philip to leave the great revival that was going on in Samaria and sent Philip out into the desert to preach the gospel to one solitary man.

"And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert." - Acts 8:26

"Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot." - Acts 8:29

The man, a eunuch under Candace queen of Ethiopia, was reading a scripture out of the book of Isaiah.

"Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus." - Acts 8:35

Apparently, Philip preached the gospel to him, as he preached in Samaria.

"And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" - Acts 8:36

"And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him." - Acts 8:38

Yet again, it was for only one man that God sent an angel to a man, a Gentile, and then sent Peter a vision. Cornelius the Gentile was obedient and sent his servants to Peter.

"While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them." - Acts 10:19-20

Peter was compelled by the vision from God to go to the Gentile’s house and preach the gospel to Cornelius and all those that had gathered with him.

"While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word." - Acts 10:44

"And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." - Acts 10:48

Each time, for just one person, God sent a preacher to preach to them the gospel, and to baptize them in Jesus name for the remission of their sins.

Jesus loves every one of us and wants us all to be saved.
