It was during Paul's second missionary journey in AD 49
that the church at Philippi was founded.
Acts 16 tells us that Paul shared the gospel of Jesus
Christ with several women of which Lydia was converted. It seems she was
the first convert at Philippi.
Paul's second convert was a demon-possessed girl. This
young girl heard the gospel, believed and became a Christian.
However, Paul was thrown into jail for preaching the
gospel. This led to his third convert - the Philippian jailer. Of
course, Acts informs us that his whole family was converted to
Christianity.
