22 strengthening the disciples
and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.
We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God, they said.
23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,
where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.
27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
{Derbe}, Lystra, Iconium, Antioch, Pisidia, Pamphylia, Perga, Attalia.

8town in 7 verses. They travels so fast and long:
This is how he traveled
Very effective - making disciples in al this towns in such a short time and immediately moving on to the next town. Why do we not do the same?
What kind of goodnews would that be - if we would do that!!!AND it would work!?Because we do it!!>::::<
v22 is interesting:
they strengthen the disciple > HOW DID THEY DO IT?
encouraged them - not just somehow, but specifically - TO REMAIN TRU IN THE FAITH > WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Talked about the hardships to be able to enter the Kingdom of God > WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT HARDSHIPS?
Elders appointed in every town, with prayer and fasting > WHAT DO I DECIDE WITH PRAYER AND FASTING
IT IS SO DIFFERENT - I DO NOT KNOW WHY!?
