Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

After his conversion, Saul changes from opposing the gospel to preaching it. So much so that he became a gossiper of the gospel, teaching in all the synagogues. Eventually he left Damascus for Jerusalem, prompted in great part by the Jews who were trying to kill him. In Jerusalem he intended to meet the apostles, but they were wary of him, given his history of persecuting the followers of Jesus. Finally, Barnabas convinced them that Saul was the "real deal," and that they needed to embrace him. Saul continued teaching and the church flourished.
