Acts 16:1 - 21

While traveling, Paul and Silas encounter a young man who will prove to be a valuable asset to the ministry: young Timothy. With a diverse cultural background, Timothy would have an understanding of various cultural settings. His faith was solid, making him an ideal missionary companion. As the Spirit of God leads the missionaries, they encounter a broad spectrum of followers. There was Lydia, whose heart and home were opened to the gospel; and there was a servant girl whose demon-possession lead to an opportunity for Paul and Silas to interact with the local authorities.
