Acts 11:19-30 The Birth of a Mission Hub

In this text we see the establishment of the church in Antioch. Antioch is the place where Christ-followers were first called Christians. Paul and Barnabas end up here to preach to this city and experience great kingdom success. The church in this city became the mission hub for future mission trips into the Gentile world. It is therefore important to Luke to tell us how it came on the Biblical map.
