The effects of the evangelism mean that:
Unbelievers suddenly believed.
Better translated as the trustless suddenly trusted.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of Adonay: and as many as were ordained to eternal life trusted.
How about adding some of the other verses around that one?
Acts 13
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
They didn't just believe from nowhere, they believed the word of God once they heard it! And they had a choice, believe or not!
