## Facts: ##

* Paul traveled to Asia and shared the gospel in several cities there. Among these were the cities of Ephesus and Colossae. 
* To avoid confusion with modern day Asia, it may be necessary to translate this as, "the ancient Roman province called Asia" or "Asia Province."
* All of the churches referenced in Revelation were in the Roman province of Asia.
