Paul was a Christian missionary who traveled around the Mediterranean spreading the gospel. He was accompanied by his close friend Lydia, who was also a devout Christian. One day, they arrived in the city of Philippi, which was located in present-day Turkey. There, they met a group of women who were gathered by the river for prayer. Lydia was especially moved by Paul’s message, and she decided to become a follower of Christ. From then on, she helped Paul with his missionary work, providing both financial and emotional support.
