Strengthening and encouragement.
After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Acts 18:23
After Paul had gone through a region the first time, he later wrung back to strengthen and encourage the new believers in Christ.
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
Acts 18:25-26 NIV
Apollos started out as a learned man who spoke and taught well but only understood part of the good news of Jesus. After Priscilla and Aquila told him about the baptism of the Holy Spirit he was even more effective.
