Acts of Apostles in the Early Church 

First Journey

The 13th and 14th chapters of Acts tells the story of the first missionary journey. Paul and Barnabas set out from Antioch, which was 15 miles up the Orontes River so they actually sailed from Seleucia, its port. 

From there they went across the sea to Cyprus where they preached at Salamis and Paphos. From Paphos they sailed to Perga in Pamphylia. It was a low-lying coastal province, and they didn't preach there because of Paul's health. 

They went inland and came to Antioch in Pisidia. When things grew too dangerous there they went 90 miles farther on to Iconium.  Once again their lives were threatened, and they moved on to Lystra about 20 miles away.

After suffering a serious and dangerous attack in Lystra, they passed traveled to Derbe. From there they set out for home, going back to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch in Pisidia on the way. 

Having this time preached in Perga, they took a ship from Attalia, the principal port of Pamphylia, and sailed via Seleucia to Antioch. 

The whole journey lasted about three years.

Second Journey

The narrative of Paul's second journey, which occupied him for about three years, is given in the section of Acts that extends from 15:36 to 18:23. 

It began from Antioch. Paul first made a tour of the churches in Syria and Cilicia. Then he re-visited the churches in the regions of Derbe, Lystra, Iconium and Pisidian Antioch. 

There followed a period when he couldn't see his way clear before him. That time of uncertainty ended with the vision at Troas, 

From Troas, Paul crossed to Neapolis and to Philippi. From there he went to Thessalonica and Beroea. From there he went to Athens and then to Corinth, where he spent about 18 months.

From Corinth he traveled to Jerusalem by way of Ephesus and finally back to Antioch, his starting point. 

The great step forward is that with this journey, Paul's activity passed beyond Asia Minor and entered Europe.

Third Journey

The story of the third missionary journey begins in Acts 18:23. It began with a tour of Galatia and Phyrgia to confirm the brethren there. Paul then moved on to Ephesus where he remained for nearly three years. From there he went to Macedonia; he then crossed overt to Troas and proceeded by way of Miletus, Tyre and Caesarea to Jerusalem.

Last Journey

In Acts 27 Paul embarks on his last journey. Two things must have lifted up his heart. One was the kindness of a stranger, for all through the voyage Julius, the Roman centurion, treated Paul with consideration which was more than mere courtesy. The other uplifting thing was the devotion of Aristarchus. It has been suggested there was only one way in which he could have accompanied Paul on this last journey, and that was by enrolling himself as Paul's slave.
