Paul set out on this tour of ministry with Silas as his companion, but they were joined by Timothy at Iconium (Acts 16:1-3). Though they revisited many of the churches planted during the earlier journey with Barnabas, the highlight of the second missionary journey was the inroads into Greece. While in Troas on the north-western extreme of the Asian continent, Paul had a vision during the night of a man of Macedonia begging him to "come over to Macedonia and help us" (16:9). As a result of this journey churches were planted in the major cities of Philippi, where they were imprisoned (16:11-40), Thessalonica (17:1-9), Berea (17:10-15), possibly Athens (17:16-34), and Corinth (18:1-18).
