  Text[0]='&nbsp;1. On his second missionary journey Paul took his friend, Silas, with him. They traveled many places together preaching the gospel.';
Text[1]='&nbsp;2. One night in Troas Paul had a vision. He saw a man from Macedonia asking him, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."';
Text[2]='&nbsp;3. The next morning Paul told Silas, Timothy and Luke, who were traveling together, what he had seen.';
Text[3]='&nbsp;4. Knowing that God had wanted them to preach in Macedonia, they immediately found a ship to take them to Macedonia.';
Text[4]='&nbsp;5. They sailed for two days to cross the sea. At the end of the first day they came to a big rocky island.';
Text[5]='&nbsp;6. The second day they came to Neapolis, a seaport of Macedonia. There they got off the ship.';
Text[6]='&nbsp;7. Paul and his friends had to travel 10 miles inland to reach Philippi. They were glad to go everywhere telling people the story of Jesus.';
Text[7]='&nbsp;8. In Philippi they could find no one who knew about Jesus. They could not even find a Jewish synagogue. They did learn, however, that there was a prayer meeting by the side of the river.';
Text[8]='&nbsp;9. They made their way to the prayer meeting (by a river) and found that all who were present were women.';
Text[9]='&nbsp;10. One of the women was named Lydia. Paul and Silas began speaking to the women about Jesus.';
Text[10]='&nbsp;11. The women listened carefully to the teaching of Paul.';
Text[11]='&nbsp;12. Lydia, who already worshipped God, believed the things that Paul had to say about Jesus. Then she and her household were baptized.';
Text[12]='&nbsp;13. Lydia wanted to be helpful to those who preached about Jesus. She asked the preachers to stay at her house as long as they were in Philippi.';
Text[13]='&nbsp;14. When they saw how very much Lydia wanted them to stay in her home, the four men accepted her invitation.';
Text[14]='&nbsp;15. While these men were staying in Lydia\'s home they preached Jesus all over the city of Philippi.';
Text[15]='&nbsp;16. Using Lydia\'s home as headquarters, they were able to teach many people the gospel of Christ.';
Text[16]='&nbsp;17. Some became believers in Christ, and the church was established in Philippi. They met together in Lydia\'s home.';
Text[17]='&nbsp;18. The day finally came when Paul and Silas had to leave Lydia- and their other dear friends in Christ at Philippi.';
Text[18]='&nbsp;19. Soon Paul and Silas were on their way to other towns of Macedonia, preaching Jesus everywhere.';
