==Faith in Literature==
Missionaries spread their faith to other countries, such as China, and the Congo. A primary example of ideal missionary behaviour is exhibited in The ''Poisonwood Bible'', by Barbara Kingsolver. The protaganist, Nathan, attempts to spread his faith to the other Conglonese until his dying words.
Christians often impress their faith on others through the use of these missionaries forcefully, such as shortly after the Boxer Rebellion in China. The novel ''Spring Moon'' by Bette Bao Lord is a fact based novel about the fearless martyrs of the Christian Faith. Even though the Chinese were attacking them on the streets, the missionaries still pursued them in attempts to create a greater following.
