4.  Preached unto the Gentiles--The Jerusalem Church was comprised of Jews.  (Most of the apostles had remained there and they were busy trying to decide who could become a Christian).  They had (almost certainly) decided that you must first become a Jew and observe Jewish rituals.  Acts 15:5 "But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed (were Christians), saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."  Having done this, you could then become a Christian.  Most certainly it was not for Gentiles.

You remember that before Paul was converted, he was killing Christians.  The apostles in Jerusalem were afraid of him.  In Acts 8:3 "As for Saul (Paul), he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison."   Which in one way turned out to be a good thing because we find in Acts 8:4 "Therefore those that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word."  If they hadn't feared for their lives, the gospel wouldn't have spread.

So when Saul met Christ on the road to Damascus,  his life was dramatically changed.  (His name was changed to Paul as well).  And from that point on he proclaimed himself appointed by Christ to be the apostle to the Gentiles.

He had to go back to Jerusalem to argue his case.  You can imagine how difficult that was and how hard it was for the apostles to believe and trust him.  Who wants to trust a known murderer.
