Paul the Apostle undertook multiple missionary journeys across the Roman Empire to spread Christianity, establish churches, and strengthen the faith of early Christians.

Paul's first missionary journey, accompanied by Barnabas and John Mark, took him from Antioch in Syria through Cyprus and into the regions of Pisidia and Lycaonia in modern-day Turkey, where he established several churches despite facing significant opposition and persecution.

Special thanks to Patrick Scott Smith for his research and input.
