Q: Who was the first believer in the town on Philippi?
Hint....
During [the] night Paul had a vision. A Macedonian stood before him and implored him with these words, “Come over to Macedonia and help us” — Acts 16:9.
It was about two decades following the death of Christ, when Paul brought Christianity into Europe. One evening while fast asleep in Troas (western Turkey), Paul dreamt of a Macedonian pleading with him to evangelize in Macedonia.* When Paul awoke, he felt confident that the Holy Spirit was leading him to the Roman province. So, along with his missionary companions, Paul began the journey across the Aegean Sea. When Paul and Silas (and possibly Luke) first arrived in Philippi, they spent some time in the city and then went to a river bank, hoping to find a place of worship. There, Paul found a group of women and began to share the story of the Lord, Jesus Christ. One of the ladies loved God but did not know Jesus. Paul shared the gospel with her and she gave her life to him that day!
