Strengthening the Disciples

Acts 18:22-23 
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. 23 After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

Paul landed in Caesarea on the coast by Antioch and Tarsus, where he came from.  There he first greeted everyone at the church here, then went on to Antioch to spend some time.  After catching up there, he strengthened the disciples all around the area where he traveled before (Acts 16:6), following up by teaching and encouragement.  He did not just preach the gospel, see fruit, and disappear; Paul cared as a good shepherd to tend the sheep and flock.  A great example.
