Paul traveled from Derbe to Lystra, picking up Timothy, then through Phrygia and Galatia to the border of Mysia. Unable to enter Mysia, they went to Troas where Paul had a vision directing them to Macedonia. They sailed to Samothrace, Neapolis, and Philippi, where Paul removed an evil spirit from a slave girl. The girl's masters had Paul and Silas arrested and imprisoned. That night, an earthquake opened the prison doors and loosened everyone's chains. Paul used this opportunity to convert the jailer and his family to Christianity.

Paul came from Derbe and then went to Lystra picking up Timothy and then going through Phrygia and Galatia. He then went to the border of Mysia but could not enter so they went to Troas. While he was there he had a vision which made him start traveling to Macedonia. From Troas he sailed to Samothrace then Neapolis then Philippi (a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia). During that time they removed a spirit from a female slave this made the masters of the slave angry because the salve made money from fortune telling. They were sent to prison by the owners however there was a violent earthquake that made all doors open and all the chains come loose. Because of this he was able to convert the jailer and his family to christianity and they were also given permission to leave the prison. What places (cities, countries) did he visit? Derbe Lystra Phrygia Galatia Mysia Troas Samothrace Neapolis Philippi Syria and Cilicia Did anyone accompany him on the journey? If so, why? Timothy and Silas are named however there were probably more people travelling with him. What troubles did he face? He faced being sent to jail unfairly by a slave owner How did he deal with problems he encountered? He dealt with the problems he faced by having faith in God and praying to him. This allowed him to get free from his cell and his chains because of a earthquake (that was probably from God). After he was freed he was also able to convert the jailer to christianity. About what did he preach? He preached the gospel to them. Given your reading, how would you characterize Paul? I think that Paul had a lot of faith in God since at midnight in a prison with terrible conditions he was singing hymns and praying to God. Why do you think Paul was willing to take on the troubles and hardships of preaching the Gospel? I think that Paul wanted to take on the troubles and hardships of preaching the Gospel for two reasons. 1) He wanted to try and give back to God and the Christian community since in the past he did not believe in Jesus and caused trouble for them. 2) Becoming a christian had improved his life dramatically and he wanted to give the opportunity to other people
