In chapter 18 we meet this couple - Aquila and Priscilla. It doesn't say much about them except that they were in the same business as Paul, tent makers, and they worked right along side him. So much so that in verse 18 when he left Corinth and sailed for Syria, he took them with him. Then in verse 26 they helped explain about the baptism of the Holy Spirit to a young preacher named Apollos - so they must have ministered along with Paul too. I can let my imagination roam a little and think about what a support they were to Paul. They worked with him, ministered with him, traveled with him........he needed them!!! Throughout the ministry of a church these people are the ones you don't hear much about but without them........well they are very needed!!!
I thank the Lord for the Aquilas and Priscillas - send more, Lord!!!
Beginning on Monday we will continue with Acts and do one chapter a day, Monday thru Friday, for the next 2 weeks. So, Monday will be chapter 19. See you Sunday!

I like how it sounds as though Priscilla and Aquila worked together as a couple in ministry. Every mention of them is together. What a powerful team!
I never thought about that. They ARE always mentioned together. That is cool!
So far I see you two couples doing the same kind of thing - and see together. You never hear just Solo or just Dustine - it is always Solo and Sarah and Dustin and Heather. MUST BE GOD!!!
