An Introduction to Apostle Paul’s First Missionary Journey

We often read of Apostle Paul’s First Missionary Journey, but this description is incomplete. It fails to mention that his first missionary trip consisted of at least two other disciples of Jesus Christ. Similarly, many Christians often overlook the importance of Paul's first missionary excursion. But under close examination, it shows that God is just and that He’s a God of the Gentiles too. It also marks the change in name of Saul, his promotion, his call to ministry, and his answer and obedience to the Holy Ghost. Finally, it indicates the introduction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles.

Have You Had an Encounter With Jesus?

Saul on route to Damascus had an encounter with Jesus which changed his life from that point onwards. As we examine Saul’s personal encounters with Jesus three things will stand out.  First, he saw Jesus; he spoke with him; then he preached in his name.

However, even though Saul had an experience with Jesus the disciples in Jerusalem were still afraid of him. His reputation as a persecutor, and imprisoner of Christians preceded him.

Your personal encounter with Jesus will change you so much that people will start to note the change. Your speech will change. Now you will commence to talk about him. The identical thing happened to Saul.

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him,” (Acts 9:29).
