Growing The Team

Acts 16:1-5

Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. As they travelled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers. (NIVUK)

Paul and Silas travelled overland to the cities, in what is now southern Turkey, where Paul had previously preached the gospel and new churches had been planted in Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe. However, the last time Paul was there, religious activists opposed his teaching and their hostility overflowed into violence (Acts 13:49-50; Acts 14:5-6). Nevertheless, he knew that the spiritually immature believers needed encouragement and further teaching. That was why he returned, despite the threat of further violence (Acts 14:21-22).
