Lorenzo Snow

Did you know the Apostle Paul was the first missionary ever in Malta--he brought Christianity onto these islands.
His accounts of being shipwrecked on an island called 'Melita', was in fact the island of Malta.
The bay Paul found at Melita is now called St. Paul's Bay.

You can read his story in
Acts 27-28.
