I mean, they're literally in the Bible. Acts 8— the Queen of Ethiopia's treasurer is heading back home after worshipping in Jerusalem, and Phillip tells him about Jesus, having learned about him from the guys who walked around with Jesus for three years. Then Philip miraculously teleports elsewhere, and the eunuch goes back to Ethiopia with an impressive story.
Europeans didn't get the Gospel until Lydia, in Acts 16—by some reckonings, eighteen years later. Maybe even longer.
I swear, if Christians actually read the Bible instead of trying to thump it, we'd get a lot more done.
