Galatia

 

Acts 
16:6-7

Moving northward from Lystra, Paul traveled through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia. Prevented by the Spirit from entering the region of Bithynia, which was further north, they went down to Troas on the coast of Asia Minor and from there to Europe.

A number of congregations were established in this region, although their precise location is unknown.
