Paul did what he'd done in every city. He opened the Scriptures, made his case for Jesus, and invited people to respond. In Ephesus he got three months of synagogue access before resistance hardened. When some began slandering the Way in public, he withdrew the disciples and relocated to the lecture hall of Tyrannus. For two years he taught there during the hottest stretch of the day, after working a full morning making tents. Five hours a day, every day. Luke says all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord. Paul didn't travel to every town. He trained people who did. The seven churches of Revelation were probably planted by people who first heard Paul teach in that borrowed classroom. Consistency is the fertile soil for the miraculous. The gospel has never needed impressive real estate.
