Asia MinorHistorically Verified
Identified by an inscription found in 1885 near modern Hatunsaray, Turkey. Paul visited here on his missionary journeys.
A city in the region of Galatia (central Turkey). Paul visited on his first missionary journey and was first worshipped as a god, then stoned and left for dead. Despite this, he returned and found Timothy here — a young believer who became his closest protege.

Acts
The Night Everything Changed
