In Acts 15:12, Barnabas and Paul shared their experiences of how God worked through them among the Gentiles. Their stories of signs and wonders helped the apostles and elders see that God's message was not limited to the Jews but extended to all people. This contributed significantly to the discussion about whether Gentile believers should be required to follow Jewish laws, including circumcision. Their testimony provided clear evidence of God's will, allowing the leaders to make a more informed decision.
