The origin of African Christianity has links to the Church of Ethiopia. Ethiopia had contacts with the Jews way before Jesus Christ was born. One of the contacts is found in the encounter between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (1Kings 10). Another is when Jesus was born also, he sought asylum with his parents in Egypt to escape the plot of King Herod to kill him as a baby (Matthew 2: 13-14). The Coptic Church in Egypt values this event and argues that the Good News came first to them through the preaching of the apostle Mark who is believed to have been martyred in Alexandria. Some historians hold that Mark was in Cyrene where he converted many Jews and Greeks before he went to Alexandria in Egypt-though there are no sufficient evidences to prove this.
