To convert the heathen natives to the joys of Christianity.
Most slaves arriving in America (the country) were delivered by British slaving ships that had collected the slaves from the coast of Guinea in west Africa. Almost all of the slaves brought fresh from Africa would have followed any one of the many different traditional religions practised by their people. It is from this mixture of traditional religions that the Voudou (Voodoo) religion of Haiti has since emerged. Once the slaves had arrived in America most of them were converted to Christianity by European missionary priests. However, some didn't convert (especially in Haiti) and this is where we get Voudou.
I was asked to be a missionary. I nedd some detailed information on this calling. then I would like to know what are the requirements of a missionary and the life of a missionary?
A missionary in any context would be a person who goes around spreading an organised religion by preaching. In the context of Spanish history, the missionaries were Catholic Christian priests who were sent to the Spanish colonies in the Americas to convert the indigenous pagans to Catholicism.
In normal use, you would not capitalize it. It there are specific instances when it is used as a title that it would be correct to capitalize it. The Catholic Missionary Church was located in Nairobi.
This depends on the religion or denomination of the missionary. In most churches or denominations, it would be more customary to give the missionaries gifts as they leave, not as they return.
Those who would not convert to Christianity were killed, unless they could escape. Those who survived became virtual slaves.
That would have to be Jesus Christ.
There would be no slaves in the world..dugh

An antinym for "missionary" could be "non-missionary" or "secularist," as these terms refer to individuals or groups that do not engage in spreading a particular faith or religious beliefs. While "missionary" implies the act of promoting a religion, an antinym would denote a lack of such intent or activity.
