Overview
Pamphylia was a coastal region in southern Asia Minor visited by Paul and Barnabas during their missionary travels. The province served as a crucial junction for spreading the Gospel throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond.
Key Scriptures
"Now when they had gone through the island of Cyprus, they came to Perga in Pamphylia" (Acts 13:13, ESV). "But John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem" (Acts 13:13, ESV). "And when they had gone through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia" (Acts 14:24, ESV). "When we had discovered Cyprus, we left it behind us and sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre" (Acts 27:5, ESV).
Application
Pamphylia reminds us that the Gospel's spread depended on faithful missionaries who traveled through unfamiliar regions, overcoming obstacles and opposition to establish churches and strengthen believers in diverse communities.
