Acts 14:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ After preaching the Good News there and making many disciples, they returned again to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, ²² where they helped the believers to grow in love for God and each other. They encouraged them to continue in the faith in spite of all the persecution, reminding them that they must enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations. ²³ Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church and prayed for them with fasting, turning them over to the care of the Lord in whom they trusted.
