Faith
Paul the Apostle | The First Journey
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Gentiles in Antioch, Syria were becoming believers, they sent Barnabas to help.
Overjoyed by the fledgling community, Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Paul's help in spreading the faith.
After a year in Antioch, Barnabas and Paul decided to set out on a mission to Cyprus and Galatia.

Paul the Apostle | The Second Journey
Back in Antioch after their two year journey, Paul and Barnabas began to hear disturbing stories about the churches they had planted.
Paul wrote to the Galatians, saying, "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel." Galatians 1:6.
Then he decided to go see them.

Paul the Apostle - The Third Journey
On his second journey, after visiting the churches in Galatia, Paul and his companions continued to Philippi, Thessalonica, Athens and Corinth.
On his third journey, Paul revisited the churches in Galatia for the last time and then went on to Ephesus, the center of the pagan world.
