Answer 1

The decision to embark on an evangelistic mission from the Antiochene congregation was initiated and guided by the **Holy Spirit**. This event is described in Acts 13:1-3, where the Holy Spirit speaks to the church at Antioch, instructing them to set apart Paul and Barnabas for the mission work. After that, Paul and Barnabas were the missionaries who left Antioch, but the guidance directly came from the Holy Spirit.
