When they leave Cyprus, God leads Barnabas and Paul to skip evangelizing the coast of Asia Minor to head 100 miles inland to Antioch of Pisidia. There he greatly blesses their message in the synagogue so that virtually the whole city turns out to hear the good news a week later. The Jews resist Paul's work and he turns to the Gentiles who eagerly respond to the good news of forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ. From Antioch the entire region hears to gospel. We can learn some important missionary methods from what Paul and Barnabas did that will help us as we try to reach people today.
