Paul’s Second Missionary Journey I plan to write about Paul’s second missionary journey. In this paper you will find the history dealing with the second missionary journey that Paul went on. I will list each city that Paul preached in this paper. There will be one major city that I will go into detail with and I will be explaining the social, cultural, historic background and the establishment of the church in that city.

Paul and Silas left Antioch in Syria right after the council in Jerusalem and set out to Asia Minor, which today is called Turkey and to the region of Cilicia. From here they continued to move west, into Derbe and Lystra where God had a divine appointment for him. It was a relationship with a young man who would become his son and the future pastor of the church in Ephesus and in faith. The mission to strengthen churches …show more content…

The places and cities they traveled to included Syria and Cilicia, Derbe and Lystra, (past Mysia) Troas, Samothracia and Neapolis, Philippi in Macedonia, Amphipolis and Apollonia, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens (Mars Hill-Areopagus), Corinth, Cenchrea, Ephesus, Caesarea, then went up Jerusalem and Antioch
