Who was responsible for having Paul be involved in evangelstic work?

Paul's involvement in evangelistic work was primarily initiated by his transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, as described in the Book of Acts. Following this experience, God called Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles. Additionally, early Christian leaders, such as Barnabas, played a significant role in supporting and mentoring Paul as he began his missionary journeys, helping to establish his role in spreading the Gospel.
