Philadelphia
The church in Philadelphia had little strength and kept the faith anyway, and Revelation praises it for that. The city stood in Lydia in Asia Minor, close to a fault line, and earthquakes hit it again and again.

City in Lydia, Asia Minor, seat of one of the seven churches addressed in Revelation and commended for remaining faithful despite having little strength (Rev. 3:7-13). The city sat near a fault line and suffered repeatedly from earthquakes, including a major one in AD 17 that devastated the region and is recorded by the Roman historian Tacitus; Rome's financial help afterward led several Lydian cities to add the emperor's name to their own in gratitude. It survives today as the Turkish city of Alaşehir.
