Acts 21:18

The next day Paul went with us to James [Jesus' brother, who led the church in Jerusalem]. All the elders [leaders of the church] were also there.
[It is noteworthy that none of the apostles are mentioned. They were present at the previous apostolic council seven or eight years earlier, see Acts 15:4. It is likely that they were out on missionary assignments around the world. They took the commission in Matt. 28:19–20 very seriously to reach the whole world during their lifetime. Although there are stories and legends that are not credible, it can still be said with considerable certainty that areas as far away from Jerusalem as England, Spain, Mauritius, Ethiopia, China, and Finland all appear to have been visited by one or more of Jesus' twelve apostles!
Peter was in Asia Minor, and we know that he worked in the cities of Antioch and Rom.
Andrew, Peter's brother, traveled north and evangelized Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, and Russia, and may have been as far north as the border with Finland. James, the son of Zebedee, was killed by Herod Agrippa I, see Acts 12:1–2. Before that, it is said that he evangelized in Spain.
John, James' brother, worked in Turkey.
Philip is said to have worked in Greece, Phrygia, and Syria. In excavations in 2011 in Hierapolis (in present-day Turkey), his name was found on a tomb from the first century, and churches built around that site have a tradition that it is the tomb of the apostle Philip.
Matthew first worked in North Africa, but later moved south and is considered the apostle of Ethiopia.
James, the son of Alphaeus, worked in Egypt. Jude and Simon the Zealot evangelized Mesopotamia and Persia. Simon also worked throughout North Africa from Egypt all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. From there, he is said to have traveled by boat to England, where we know that Christianity had already arrived when southern England became part of the Roman Empire in 43 AD.
Thomas and Bartholomew first traveled to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, all the way to Pakistan and China. After the apostolic council in Jerusalem, they set out again via Saudi Arabia to India.
Matthias, who replaced Jude Iscariot, is said according to Greek tradition to have worked in Cappadocia and along the Caspian Sea, but there are many different traditions surrounding him.]
