Paul and Barnabas strengthen the communities they have founded with their preaching and appoint presbyters, they pray, fast and commend all believers to the Lord.
The first Christian communities, through the work of the apostles, began to organize and remain structured with the spiritual means required to continue growing in faith and continue with the mission of opening the doors of salvation to all, beyond Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
However, Paul and Barnabas are aware that they have not done it, but "God has acted through them". It is the Risen Lord, the God of Glory, who opens new paths through his Church and despite the tribulations or difficulties that arise.
