It was three.
Most Bible's have a section in the back which contains these on a map of the regions to which he traveled. They may either be illustrated separately or, if they are put on the same map, it is easy to compare them. It may also be worth noting that Paul made a number of journeys which were not missionary journeys, including a visit to Arabia after he was converted. These journeys will not be included on such maps. A Bible Atlas will also have details of the missionary journeys of Paul, often in better detail.
AnswerThe three journeys in Acts of the Apostles are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his letters Paul gives no information that supports the historicity of Acts' first missionary journey, and the other two are called into serious doubt by scholars who doubt the historicity of Acts. According to Acts, Paul's imprisonment and miraculous escape occur during the second journey. Paul himself talks of his various travels, but does not group them into any clearly defined missionary journeys, in the style of Acts, which focuses on having Paul return to a location where he can be in communication with his superiors. He does talk of being imprisoned, but it is unclear at what point this occurs. We can not really be sure when he was imprisoned.
A:The missionary trips are in Acts of the Apostles only. Paul's own epistles never mention, and actually preclude, the three missionary trips described in the later book.
The Trojan War is dated somewhere in the 12th or 13th century BC, whereas Paul's missionary journeys were in the First century AD.The Trojan War preceded Paul by well over a 1000 yrs.
In his undisputed letters Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey and only sparse and contradictory information about the second and third missionary journeys described in Acts of the Apostles. In fact, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the the three journeys are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. Apart from the total lack of first hand evidence for the first journey, doubt has been raised about other aspects of the itinerary.According to Acts:First missionary journey:Antioch, Seleucia, Salamis, Cyprus, South Galatia, Antioch, Jerusalem.Second missionary journey:Syria and Cilicia, South Galatia, Phrygia and North Galatia, Mysia and Troas, Philippi, Amphipolis, Apollonia, Thessalonia, Beroea, Athens, Corinth, Cenchreae, Ephesus, Caesarea Maritima, Jerusalem.Third missionary journey:North Galatia and Phrygia, Ephesus, Macedonia, Achaia, Macedonia and Philippi, Troas, Miletus, Tyre, Ptolemais, Caesarea, Jerusalem.
While this depends somewhat on how one defines the term missionary, the first Christian that appeared to take on the missionary role was Philip the Evangelist. He was first mentioned in Acts 6:5 in the Bible. However, his missionary travels are described in Acts 8:5-40. He served in the first decades of the church in the 1st century AD.
It depends upon the journeys. the short answer is that over all the journeys Paul was accompanied by Peter, Barnabas, Timothy, Silas, John Mark (author of the Gospel of Mark) and Luke amongst others.
Paul, originally called Saul, was a religious leader at the time of the early church, and he hated the new Christians, (or followers of The Way, as they were called at the time). After Stephen was martyred (Acts 7:54-8:1), Saul approved. He soon began to persecute the Christians. In Acts 9, he was riding to the town of Damascus to kill christians, when Jesus appeared to him on the road in bright light, knocked him off his horse, and blinded him for three days. God sent a man called Ananias to go to Saul and teach him the Gospel. Saul (or now Paul) was converted, and felt convicted to begin preaching the gospel. Days after he first believed, he already gave his first sermon, and followed God's call to plant churches in the area ever since.

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.
