August 14, 2019 Reading Time: < 1 minute

First Christian Church in Europe - Acts 16:9 (NIV)

Paul was traveling in the countryside through Asia Minor (today’s Turkey) and came to the coast to Troas. “During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.'” (Acts 16:9; NIV)
