Last year when I visited Greece and Turkey, I was able to visit many of the sites where Paul did ministry. It was incredible to walk in much of his footsteps and learn and see what I have read so much about. Our tour guide was fantastic, but not necessarily a man of faith. When we got to Philippi, the site of Paul’s first church we were able to get a good idea of the culture, that church and his ministry there. At one point, someone in the tour group asked the age old American question ‘how many where in the church?’ The tour guide had the best response, one that I think we could adopt in North America. “It does not matter, Paul did not come here for how many came to church, he and the people came here to worship the Lord.” Puts a little perspective on how we look at things today.
