In Acts 16-18:22, Paul and Silas go through Syria and Cilicia strengthening the churches, and then they arrive at Derbe and Lystra, and there Paul meets Timothy. He is the first second generation believer mentioned in Acts. His mother and Grandmother were Jewish believers, and his dad was Greek. He joins Paul and Silas in their ministry. They headed through the Region of Phrygia and Galatia. They tried to turn east into Asia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not let them. They went to Troas, and there it seems that Luke, the writer joined them because the pronoun switched from "they" to "we." While there, Paul got a vision of a man in Macedonia calling him to come and help, so they headed there. They ended up in Philippi where a woman named Lydia believed, and her whole house. She was the first woman in Europe to be saved that is found in Acts. The next main city they stopped at was Thessalonica and then Berea where Silas and Timothy stayed. Paul was sent to the coast and went to Athens where two people were saved, and then he went to Corinth and met Aquila and Priscilla. Paul stayed there 1 1/2 years and Silas and Timothy met him. He began his trip home with Priscilla and Aquila, and they stopped at Ephesus where the couple stayed. Paul then sailed to Caesarea and went up to the Jerusalem church and then down to Antioch his home church.
