A missionary is one who spreads a religion or faith. Christian missionaries were involved in many early colonialism efforts, explaining the spread and staying power of Catholicism in South American nations like Mexico and throughout the Pacific nations.
Due in part to missionaries, in terms of its geographic distribution, Christianity is the most globally diverse religion.[2]
