- Story of the conversion of Lydia (Acts 16: 11-40)
Memory verse: “…The Lord opened her eyes to respond to Paul’s message”. Acts 16:14
Paul and his companion travelled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of the district of Macedonia. On the Sabbath day, they went outside the city gate to the riverside, where we expected to find a place of prayer. They sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. One of these listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshipper of God. The lord opened her heart to listen and obey all that Paul preached. Then she and her household were baptized and she invited them to her house.
