Strategy of missionary

Acts 18:12-23
Most of the Jews oppose the new teaching, though the president of the synagogue is convinced and Paul continues teaching for 18 months.
Then angry Jews take him to court, proconsul Gallio is swift to judge that Paul has committed no crime, and hustles them away.
His decision is an important one for the Christian faith.
A lot of travelling is packed into this short passage. Paul goes by sea from Corinth via Ephesus to Jerusalem and Antioch. He then returns to Ephesus by road through Phrygia and Galatia for a further missionary campaign.
Why?
Paul knew that Ephesus will a center of gospel in that area, so he arrange Priscilla and Aqula stayed in Ephesus, for next time he will come back, and let them stay there to encourage new Christians.
Keep hair means have good healthy in custom, Paul cut his hair mean he devoted his hair for his vows.
Paul devoted whole his life for the mission of Christ. Paul arranged his co-workers may work in his mission.
How?
Paul not only devoted his life to the Lord, but also he has strategy in the mission of Christ. Do something good to the Lord with wisdom.
