The Galatian churches were located in the region of Galatia in central Asia Minor, which is modern-day Turkey. This area was home to various cities, including Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, where early Christian communities were established. The Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle to the Galatians to address issues faced by these churches. The region was known for its diverse population and mixture of cultures, including Celtic influences.
Lois was the grandmother of Timothy, and Eunice was his mother (Timothy 1:5) They lived in the town of Lystra. Lystra was about 18 miles from Iconium and Derbe was about 40 miles SE of Lystra. Both were in the Roman province of Galatia, and Lycaonia was the district.
Paul did not start any "churches" as such. He visited different cities and established groups that examined the Hebrew scriptures and applied the teachings of Jesus. A few of the cities were Colossi, Ephesus, Galatia, Antioch, Tarsus, Derbe, Lystra, Phillipi.
After Antioch, Paul embarked on his first missionary journey, traveling to various regions including Cyprus and parts of Asia Minor. He preached in cities such as Salamis, Paphos, Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, establishing churches and spreading the message of Christianity. Following this journey, he returned to Antioch to report on his mission's progress.
