Paul’s second missionary journey, accompanied by Silas, Timothy, and later Luke, significantly expanded the reach of Christianity into Europe as they traveled from Antioch through key locations such as Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, and Ephesus, preaching the Gospel, performing miracles, and establishing strong Christian communities despite facing considerable opposition, thereby demonstrating the transformative power and inclusivity of the Gospel.
Silas, a key companion of Paul on his second missionary journey, played a crucial role in spreading the Gospel, enduring imprisonment and persecution, and helping establish early Christian communities in Thessalonica, Berea, and Corinth.
Lydia, a businesswoman dealing in purple cloth from Thyatira, became the first European convert to Christianity after hearing Paul’s message in Philippi, where she and her household were baptized and she hosted Paul and his companions, playing a crucial role in the early church.
Philippi, an ancient city in Macedonia, is historically significant as the site of the first Christian community in Europe, founded by Apostle Paul, and is celebrated for its profound biblical connections and rich archaeological heritage.
