Whom did Paul meet on his first missionary journey?
The three missionary journeys are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his own epistles, Paul provides no information about the first missionary journey, in fact his own itinerary seems to rule out the possibility of the first missionary journey that is reported in Acts of the Apostles.
According to Acts, Paul departed on the journey with Barnabas. they met Bar-Jesus, also known as Elymas, and Sergius Paulus on the island of Paphos. According to Acts, their mission was to the Jews, since Peter had not yet proposed that Gentiles be admitted to the Christian Church. Paul did meet some Gentiles but, apart from Sergius Paulus, was reported to be spectacularly unsuccessful in converting them.

How To Get Support To Be A Missionary?
There are a number of ways.
1. One can apply to a mission board that supports you from their own resources. Generally, there is a long process to go through to get such a position because one, in many ways, becomes an employee of that mission agency.
2. One may self-fund or be bivocational (working in the mission country) to fund. This is very workable for some, and completely inappropriate for others.
3. Commonly, missions is done in a manner often called "faith-based". While the term is completely a misnomer (nothing more "faith-like" in this method than any others). This involves building a support base with friends, families, and churches. Commonly, one would work with a faith-based mission agency to help with the logistical challenges and mobilization of ministry. They may help you connect with donors. However, commonly one must contact people, and churches. One must demonstrate one's vision, competence, and trustworthiness to convince them that you are called to missions, and deserving of being in partnership with them in missions.
Generally, one should start with those closest to you. They are more likely to know your passion, and recognize your competence and trustworthiness.
