Tentmakers

A Bible story for kids from Acts 18:1–11. Day 280 of 365.

Paul went to the city of Corinth. He met a husband and wife named Aquila and Priscilla. They all made tents for a living!

Paul worked with them making tents during the week and told people about Jesus on the day of rest.

Some people were mean to Paul. But one night, Jesus spoke to him in a dream: “Don't be afraid. Keep talking about me. I am with you.” So Paul stayed there and taught for a year and a half!
