The Apostle Paul went to reach the Roman Empire, in the early 1st century, for Jesus Christ, God's own Son, and to bring the Gentiles to a saving knowledge and relationship with Him.
So to accomplish this Paul traveled to Asia Minor (modern day Turkey), Greece and finally to Rome itself.
In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. At some stage after the last visit to Jerusalem, he appears to have visited Antioch with Peter. He must have spent 3 years in Damascus, 14 years in Syria and Cilicia, and indeterminate periods in the other centres.
Acts says that after his conversion, Paul went immediately to Damascus, where his blindness was cured, then after fleeing Damascus, to Jerusalem, Caesaria and Tarsus, Antioch and Jerusalem.
His First Missionary Journey (in Acts) then took him to Antioch, Seleucia, Salamis, Cyprus,South Galatia, Antioch and back to Jerusalem.
His second journey was to Antioch, Syria and Cilicia, South Galatia, Phrygia and North Galatia, Mysia and Troas, Philippi, Amphipolis, Apollonia, Thessalonica, Beroea, Athens, Corinth, Cenchraea, Ephesus, Caesaria Maritima and Jerusalem.
His third trip was to North Galatia and Phrygia, Ephesus, Macedonia, Achaia, Macedonia, Philippi, Troas, Miletus, Tyre, Ptolemais, Caesaria, Jerusalem.
Paul was the first missionary. All before had been sent unto the household of Judah, in the land of their nativity.
Paul went on four missionary journeys. His 'mission' was to spread the Gospel of Christ.

Which missionary Journey did Paul go to Europe for the first time?
Paul received the "Macedonian call" while on his second missionary journey. His first trip to Europe was in response to this call. You can read about when Paul started his second missionary journey in Acts 15:36-41, and when Paul received the "Macedonian call" in Acts 16:6-11, and read about the first convert in Europe in Acts 16:14-15.
Did barbabas go with Paul on a missionary journey?
No it was not Barabas the theif. But Barnabas who went with Paul.
What year was the first missionary?
Well, the first missionary was probably one of the disciples. They were the first ones to go out and spread the gospel. Paul was one of the first to go out and probably the best known.
Which route paul took on first missionary trip?
Paul goes on his 1st Missionary Journey starting in Acts 13:1-3, from Antioch. He and Barnabas go to Cyprus and then to the cities of Galatia in Asia Minor. What many forget is that Paul's platform in these cities were the Jewish synagogues where he preached the gospel. At times, he encountered opposition from the Jews here.
Where was the first place that Paul started a church?
AnswerIn his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul seems quite clear about his main travels for his first seventeen to twenty years as a missionary. He said that after his conversion, he travelled first to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. At some stage after the last visit to Jerusalem, he appears to have visited Antioch with Peter. He must have spent 3 years in Damascus, and he spent14 years in Syria and Cilicia. He went to probably to Thessalonia, certainly to Corinth and, and later to Rome.On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles says that Paul went first to Damascus and Jerusalem. After some short trips in Palestine, he began his "first missionary journey" to Antioc, Seleucia, Cyprus, South Galatia and back to Antoch and Jerusalem. Acts says that he then went on his second missionary journey to Syria and Cilicia, South Galatia, Phrygia and North Galatia, Mysia and Tross, Phillipi, Amphipolis, Apolonia, Thessalonica, Beroea, Athens and Corinth. Acts says that his third mission was to North Galatia and Phrygia, Ephesus, Macedonia, Achaia, Macedonia, Philippi, Troas, Miletus, Tyre, Ptolemais, Caesaria and back to Jerusalem. He later went to Rome.The three journeys of Acts are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his undisputed letters Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey. This itinerary for the third missionary journey has also been called into doubt by some scholars. Only the second missionary journey seems to approximate Paul's own travel itinerary. Many scholars would rely on Paul's account in preference to Acts of the Apostles.
Did St. Paul go on the missionary journeys after his name was changed to Paul?
Paul himself never mentioned ever having been known by a different name, although he could not have hidden the fact if it was true. On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles, written anonymously some decades later, says that his name was changed from Saul to Paul during his first missionary journey. Again, Paul never mentions that first missionary journey and his own account of his itinerary seems to rule out the possibility of that journey. So, we have two conflicting accounts and in one there was no first missionary journey and no change of name, while in the other, Saul became known as Paul during his first missionary journey.Acts, written some decades after the time of St Paul, is regarded by some scholars as being subtly anti-Paul. If so, the name that the author of Acts attributed to Paul in his early years may be based on another person mentioned by the Jewish historian, Josephus. In his Antiquities of the Jews, Josephus talked of a riot in Jerusalem, led by a 'Saulus', after the stoning of James. Elsewhere, Josephus portrayed this Saulus as a collaborator with the Romans and the Herodians. Overall, Saulus would have been considered an unsavoury person by Jews and Christians alike. If indeed Paul was never really known as Saul, then this information could explain the reason this was placed in Acts of the Apostles.
Why did Paul go to Jerusalem at the end of his Third Missionary Journey and why he was arrested in Jerusalem?
AnswerThe three missionary journeys attributed to Paul are a convenient classification developed by students of Acts of the Apostles. However, in his undisputed letters, Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey and only partially coincidental support for the other two. The Third Journey (Acts l8:23-21:15) has been called into doubt by some scholars. Juirgen Becker (Paul) denies the possiblity of any retum to Palestine at this time. From this, we should look at the reasons for these events in the literary context of Acts of the Apostles.We know from Paul's own epistles that he was collecting for the poor in Jerusalem, although perhaps much earlier in his missionary career. The author of Acts, for this to appear to be a historical chronology, it was necessary for Paul to take the collection to Jerusalem, as promised. In Acts, this became the first and most apparent reason for his return to Jerusalem.Since Paul's epistles tell of Paul having been arrested and held in prison, another reason for his journey to Jerusalem was to provide the opportunity for him to be arrested. He went to the Temple, where he was seem and recognised as the man who took uncircumcised converts into the Temple. The mob seized Paul and handed him over to the authorities, who arrested Paul for this.
Where did saint Paul go on his first journey?
Antioch, Attalia, Antioch, Samalis, Paphos.
What were Paul's journies?
In one of his earliest epistles, the Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. He spent 3 years in Damascus, 14 years in Syria and Cilicia, and indeterminate periods in the other centres.
Why did Paul make a second missionary journey?
Acts 15:36 - Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing." [NKJV]
One who takes a religious journrey?
If you take a journey to do preach the Gospel, then you are a missionary. If you go on a religious journey just to visit places and have experiences, then you are a pilgrim going on a pilgrimage.
Who joined paul and barnabas on their first missionary journey?
Barnabas appears to have been the leader of the first missionary journey. There are several reasons for believing this. 1. Barnabas originally took on a mentoring role, seeking out Paul and bringing him to Antioch before. 2. Luke gives Barnabbas primacy in listing at the beginning of the mission trip (Acts 13) and only later moves to placing Paul first. 3. The mission trip started by going to Cyprus, which was the homeland of Barnabas. Only after that, did they go to Asia Minor, the homeland of Paul. 4. The people in the city of Lystra believed that Barnabas was the leader of the team. According to Acts 14: 11-12, "When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they yelled out in the language of Lycaonia, 'The gods have turned into humans and have come down to us!' The people then gave Barnabas the name Zeus, and they gave Paul the name Hermes, because he did the talking." So the people saw Barnabas as Zeus, the leader of the gods, and Paul as Hermes, the spokesman of the gods. While we (rightly) give great credit to Paul as a great missionary, it seems as if Barnabas may have been the one that developed the method of missions that was used by Paul and Barnabas on the first trip, Paul on the 2nd and 3rd trips, and (presumably) Barnabas and John Mark on their 2nd trip.
