Bithynia
A region in Asia Minor where the Spirit forbade Paul to go
Asia MinorAbout This Place
A Roman province in northwestern Asia Minor along the Black Sea coast. Paul and his companions tried to enter Bithynia during the second missionary journey, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them — redirecting them to Troas and ultimately to Europe (Acts 16:7). Peter later addressed believers here in his first letter.

1 Peter
Born Into a Living Hope

Acts
The Night Everything Changed
Paul picks up a new partner named Timothy, follows a mysterious vision into Europe, watches God open hearts and shake foundations, and discovers that sometimes the best ministry happens at midnight in a jail cell.
