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.

Bible verse about missionaries: "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ." - Ephesians 4:11-13
