Missionaries are sent all over the world for various reasons. Some missionaries are known as medical missionaries. These are doctors, pharmacists, or nurses that go overseas and use medical experience to help out in other countries.

This migration happened because of the religious oppression that was occurring in many part of Europe at the time.
