Paul went to Macedonia primarily to spread the Christian gospel and establish churches in the region. His journey was inspired by a vision he received, urging him to help the people there. In Macedonia, he preached in cities like Philippi and Thessalonica, where he encountered both acceptance and opposition. His mission contributed significantly to the growth of early Christianity in Europe.

In Troas, the Apostle Paul had a significant vision in which he saw a man from Macedonia urging him to come and help them. This vision prompted Paul to interpret it as a divine call to spread the Gospel in Macedonia, leading to his decision to travel there. The incident is recounted in Acts 16:9-10 and is often seen as a pivotal moment in the expansion of early Christianity into Europe.
i found the following while searching the web: "[Apostle] Paul had a vision in which a man of Macedonia plead with Paul to come help him. Paul and his companions thus traveled to the city of Philippi in Macedonia. Paul baptized a woman named Lydia and her household in Philippi. Lydia was a seller of purple cloth, which was expensive. The dye for the cloth came from mollusk, a type of shellfish. Lydia's conversion was the start of the establishment of the Church in Philippi."
