As Paul revisited churches in regions where he either previously ministered to or he and Barnabas established, he takes a young man named Timothy as a disciple, Timothy will remain with Paul till the end. Seeking where next to take the gospel, the Holy Spirit closes doors to the north and south, so they continue west and going as far as they can by land Paul receives a vision to cross the sea to Macedonia. Not only did Paul lead Silas and Timothy, but he himself was first lead by the Holy Spirit.
