The men traveled to many different towns. They told people about Jesus and visited the new churches in these places. Many people believed in Jesus.
Paul and his friends tried to travel to Asia, but God helped Paul know not to go that way. On night Paul had a dream. A man talked to Paul, "Come and help us!" the man said. Paul knew that this dream was from God, and they should go to Macedonia (mass uh DOH nih uh), the place where the man lived.

Paul Taught in Athens
Paul traveled to a city names Athens. While he waited for his friends to arrive, he looked around the city and noticed many idols (statues of false gods). This made Paul very sad because the people were not worshiping the one true God.
Paul went to the synagogue (church). He talked to the people about Jesus. Every day, Paul went to the marketplace. He told people he met there about Jesus.
Some men heard Paul teaching about Jesus. They did not know what he was talking about. The men heard Paul with them to a special meeting place on a hill. They wanted to know more about what he was teaching.
Paul stood up in the meeting. He said, "People of Athens! I have walked around your city and seen the statues you worship. I want to tell you what I know about the one true God. God created the world and everything in it. He made all people, and he loves all people. He wants people to love and follow him." Paul told the people about Jesus, God's son.
Some people did net like what Paul told them. Others still wanted to know more about God and Jesus. Some of the people believed what Paul said and began to follow God.
Based on Acts 17:16-34
