Drive Thru History: Acts to Revelation — Season 1, Episode 5: Paul's First Missionary Journey - The Island of Cyprus

Episode synopsis

Followers of Jesus started congregating in Syrian Antioch, about 300 miles north of Jerusalem. There, the church grew quickly among the Jews and Gentiles. Dave travels to modern-day Antakya, Turkey, and the ancient church known as “St. Peter’s Cave,” to explore the Biblical accounts. Ultimately, the church at Antioch chose Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark to lead the first missionary journey deeper into the Roman Empire. Dave jets from Antioch to the incredible island of Cyprus – the first stop for Paul and his team. Leaving room for fun, Dave drives the entire island, from Salamis to Paphos, investigating the events described in the Book of Acts.
