Asia MinorAbout This Place
A coastal city in northwest Asia Minor (modern Turkey). Paul received his famous vision of a man from Macedonia begging for help (Acts 16:8-10) — the moment that brought the gospel to Europe. Paul also raised Eutychus from the dead here after the young man fell asleep during Paul's long sermon and fell out of a third-story window (Acts 20:7-12).

Acts
The Jailbreak That Changed Everything
Paul recruits Timothy, the Holy Spirit literally reroutes the whole mission trip, and then Paul and Silas get beaten and thrown in jail — only to start a worship session so fire that God sends an earthquake to break the chains. The jailer goes from almost ending it all to getting baptized that same night.

The Kid Who Fell Out the Window and Paul's Final Goodbye
Paul goes on a farewell tour, some kid falls asleep during his sermon and literally falls out a third-story window (he's fine), and then Paul drops one of the most emotional goodbye speeches in the entire Bible. Tissues required.
