The apostle Paul and Barnabas are considered prophets (teachers) in the early New Testament church like several others. The brethren of Antioch, in Syria, lay hands on both men and ordain them as apostles in the late Spring of 44 A.D.
While they (the church in Syrian Antioch) were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them, 'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.' (Acts )
From Antioch Paul, Barnabas and John (surnamed Mark) begin Paul's first missionary journey (Acts - 52, - 25). It is the first such extensive evangelistic tour taken by Paul. The evangelism team travels to Seleucia then sails to Salamis, the principle city and seaport of the island of Cyprus.

Paul the Evangelist traveled 10, miles to preach Christianity
By Ray Konig |
About years ago, a man named Saul traveled to Damascus with the plan of rounding up Christians and taking them as prisoners to Jerusalem, so they could be persecuted for their beliefs.
He detested Christians. As he got closer to Damascus, which is a journey of about miles from Jerusalem, he was engulfed in blinding light and encountered the resurrected Jesus.
The light blinded Saul and remained unable to see for three days. He converted to Christianity and became its best-known evangelist. His name was changed to Paul and he since has been known and referred to as Paul the Apostle and Paul the Evangelist.
Paul's encounter with the resurrected Jesus transformed his life. He went from trying to bring an end to Christianity to traveling roughly 10, miles throughout western Asia and parts of Europe to preach about Jesus and Christianity.
And he did so at risk to himself, as Christianity was not a legal religion within the Roman Empire at that time.
Below are descriptions and maps of each of the four evangelical journeys that Paul undertook during his life, after becoming a Christian. These journeys,
Paul&#;s Missionary Journeys: The Beginner&#;s Guide
Paul’s missionary journeys helped spread the gospel throughout much of the ancient world. Over the course of his ministry, the Apostle Paul traveled more than 10, miles and established at least 14 churches.
The Book of Acts records three separate missionary journeys that took Paul through Greece, Turkey, Syria, and numerous regions you won’t find on modern-day maps. Some scholars argue that Paul also took a fourth missionary journey, since parts of the New Testament appear to reference travels that may have taken place after the events in Acts.
Paul’s travels played a crucial role in the formation and development of the early Christian church. Many of the communities he encountered on these missionary journeys were the same ones he wrote to in his pastoral epistles.
In this guide, we’re going to follow Paul’s footsteps as he travelled across the ancient world, looking at the places he went and the major events that took place along the way. At times it can be challenging to distinguish between ancient cities, provinces, and regions (and there are sometimes multiple names that refer to the same area), so as we go, we’ll mak
