When the church in Jerusalem got wind of this, they sent Barnabas to Antioch to check on things. As soon as he arrived, he saw that God was behind and in it all.

The community grew large and strong in the Master.

Acts 11:22 - Additional Comments

This was the same Barnabas that sold the land, and gave all the proceeds from the sale to the apostles to distribute to the needy (Acts 4:36-37). This was in contrast to what Ananias and Sapphira did (5:1-5). And this was the same Barnabas that received Paul when Paul first came to Jerusalem as a new convert, and Barnabas trusted him and brought him to the apostles.
See vs 19 for info on Antioch. It is about 300 miles from Antioch to Jerusalem. Barnabas is being sent on a long mission trip. The travel time to Antioch is probably about 2 weeks.
What was the news that the church in Jerusalem was hearing? It was good news, that many were being converted in remote cities. They probably sent Barnabas to disciple them (see vs 23).
