Paul and Lydia Bible Story for Kids Acts 16

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. Together, they had a powerful impact on the spread of Christianity in the region. The story of Paul and Lydia is an inspiring example of two people working together to advance God’s kingdom. This story is found in Acts 16 following Paul’s Macedonian call from God in a vision.
