Paul’s missionary journeys took him across the Roman Empire. He traveled to different cities and encounter all kinds of people, situations, challenges and surprises. It’s fascinating to read the book of Acts simply as a thrilling travelogue, let alone as a religious text and yet amid all of his varied and dramatic adventures, his ministry had a predictable rhythm. In each place, Paul’s work followed a predictable pattern and that pattern remains the same today for everyone who engages in gospel ministry.
