And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
 

14:27 they rehearsed. This might be called the first missionary conference, with Paul and Barnabas, the church’s “apostles” (literally “sent ones,” essentially the same as “missionaries”) reporting the results of their journey to the church that had sent them. Note that they reported on what “God had done with them.” Note also I Samuel 30:24, on the importance of those who “tarrieth by the stuff.”
