Location of First Century Churches
In Macedonia, they planted new churches at Philippi. Thessalonica, Berea, Athens and Corinth. On return they crossed by boat to Ephesus, spent a short time there and then sailed to Caesarea and on to Jerusalem.
Paul’s third missionary journey again began in Antioch of Syria and with quite a large team passing back into Galatia strengthening the churches there. They then went to Ephesus again, spending much time in that city preaching and writing teaching letters to various churches. He made a quick trip to Corinth, then by road back into Macedonia encouraging the churches there, then on to Corinth again. He then returns back through Macedonia and down to Ephesus and then by boat to Caesarea and on to Jerusalem HQ again.
Paul’s fourth trip was as a prisoner to Rome.
On Paul’s first mission trip, he and Barnabas with young John Mark taught in Cyprus, then crossed to Perga from where John returned to Jerusalem. Paul and Barnabas went north to Antioch, then to Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and back to Antioch (in Turkey), then to Perga and Attalia, then sailed back to Antioch in Syria, then south to HQ in Jerusalem.
A year later, Paul teams up with Silas for his second journey going through South Galatia, Macedonia and Achaia in Greece, encouraging believers in the churches already planted.
