Review
Three months passed (see 28:11), because the shipwreck survivors had to wait for the passing of winter and arrangements to complete their journey on another vessel. When at last the time came to leave the island, the grateful Maltese people inundated Paul and his friends with gifts and provisions for the remainder of their trip of 320 miles to Rome.

Even as a shipwrecked prisoner, Paul continued to minister to others. On this trip alone, Julius, Publius, the ship’s passengers and crew, and all the Maltese people were affected. Because of one faithful witness, the gospel continued to spread.

PAUL ARRIVES AT ROME / 28:11–16
PAUL ARRIVES AT ROME / 28:11–16
The last leg of Paul’s journey to Rome was almost anticlimactic—smooth sailing, a warm reception by some Italian believers, his own private lodging (house arrest rather than imprisonment in a Roman penal facility). The stage was now set for Paul to begin ministering in the most influential city in the world.

When Paul reached Italy, he and his entourage met some Christians who were delighted to host them. Imagine what that week must have been like. Imagine getting to sit and talk with the apostle Paul and hear story after story of God’s power and faithfulness. What would such a visit do to your faith and for your family’s spiritual health? Though we can’t open our doors to Paul, we do have the opportunity to host modern-day missionaries home on furlough. In a similar manner, their presence in our midst can tremendously strengthen our own walks with God. Pray about spending time with or even hosting a missionary family home on leave. Get to know them, listen to their stories! This how Amie and I grew in our faith. Giving to those who were called to go. This is the direction that we will go here at Saltillo Baptist! We will support missionary's that we get to know personally and adopt them into our family, so they can represent us around the world! Don and Becky with Global Surge is an example. *the video we say last week! (Acts 1:8) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Look at the last part of verse 15: when Paul SAW them! He first thanked God for them and next Paul recieved encouragement and strength from them, so He could be prepared for what would he would encounter next! This is a two way street! Paul received a blessing and I can guarantee those who ministered to Paul and Luke was blessed too!
