Some Christian beliefs inspired indigenous peoples to fight back against imperial powers.
Why does Egypt hate christians?
There is no reason to believe that Egyptians or the Egyptian governernment hates Christians. Egypt has a large and thriving Christian community, with the largest denomination of Christians being the Coptic Church. Sharia law, as applied in Egypt, requires that a Muslim can not renounce his or her faith. However, the Egyptian government recently enacted a law that says this requirement does not apply to former Christians who have converted to Islam - they can freely return to Christianity if they wish. This example demonstrates tolerance for and acceptance of the Egyptian Christian community.
Notice that those born into Islam are not permitted to become Christians. This parallels medieval European attitudes, but is not evidence of any hatred of Christians.

Probably one of the most famous recent medical missionary was Mother Theresa, a Catholic nun who worked with the poor. In fact, almost all Catholic convents have had medical missionaries.

Historically, every church has used medical missionaries.

Did paul witness in Jerusalem?
Acts 9:26-30 speaks of Paul's boldness in teaching others about the good news of the Christ in Jerusalem: 26On arriving in Jerusalem he made efforts to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe he was a disciple. 27 So Bar′na·bas came to his aid and led him to the apostles, and he told them in detail how on the road he had seen the Lord and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 And he continued with them, walking in and out at Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord; 29 and he was talking and disputing with the Greek-speaking Jews. But these made attempts to do away with him. 30 When the brothers detected this, they brought him down to Caes·a·re′a and sent him off to Tarsus.

Missionary's work everywhere.
Not in the common sense of the term. In the common sense of the term, a missionary is one who goes out from the church (within the Christian context) to do God's work (evangelism, churchplanting, discipleship and other forms of Christian ministry) to those outside the church (often, but not always, cross-culturally).
Since Moses was not a Christian (since Moses lived many centuries before Jesus Christ) and wasn't really seeking to share his faith to those outside of his faith, he would not be thought of as a missionary.
Of course the term missionary (etymologically) means one who is carrying out the mission of God. Since Moses was carrying out God's mission of bringing God's word to the Israelites, one could argue that he was a pre-Christian model of a missionary.
Why did missionaries come to Ireland and what did they do there?
Missionaries came to Ireland in order to convert the generally Pagan population to Catholicism . They did this through preaching and combining the teachings of Catholicism with the previous Pagan traditions. This obviously worked as Ireland is now a 90% Catholic nation the other 10% being made up largely of non-nationals who practice different religions. However, a recent survey showed that 86% of people, although claiming to be Catholic, do not attend mass.

Why was mission santa barbara built?
To tech people the word of god
It was built because Spain could hold onto the claim on Alta CA stronger.
This is a complicated question. The Spanish Crown did need to secure her territory in California. Due to a lack of interest in migration to California from other parts of Mexico, the Spanish colonial government decided the best way to secure the land against Russian settlement was to Christianize the indigenous people of California. It was thought that these Native People would become "good Spanish citizens" and defend Spanish claim to California.
The Franciscan Padres, under the direction of Father Junipero Serra (and later Fr. Fermin Lauseun) wanted to establish Missions for a different set of reasons, including a belief that Christianization (evangelization) would save the souls of the indigenous people.
Mission Santa Barbara, also known as Santa Barbara Mission, is a Spanish mission founded by theFranciscan order near present-day Santa Barbara, California. It was founded December 4, 1786, the feast day ofSaint Barbara, as the tenth mission for the religious conversion of the indigenous local Chumash-Barbareñotribe of Native American people.

Who is a missionary to Denmark?
Christianity became the danish state religion when the missionary Poppo came to the king Harald Blåtand (Harald Bluetooth) and convinced him of the religion. This happened around the year 900, and according to the story Poppo proved god's power by carrying red-hot metal in his bare hands without injury, and being impressed by the feat Harald dictated that Denmark should be a christian country.

He was very gifted in Bible translation due to his capability in languages. His translations of Scripture into Japanese, one of the first translations for Japan, exist to this day.
Christian views on social injustice?
I would imagine that everyone (regardless of creed) is against injustice.
The problem is that different groups of people define injustice differently.
I personally feel it is an injustice to deny a person equal opportunities, responsibilities and respect because of race or gender. But, most Abrahamic religions teach that women are subordinate, cannot teach or instruct men and must obey their fathers and husbands.
There are any Christians who feel that capitol punishment is an injustice and I find myself fence-sitting on the issue.
To add complications, different Christians believe different things and everyone's beliefs are colored by the culture they grow up in. An American Christian might feel that it is an injustice for a young child to be asked to work in a factory to help support the family, while a Christian in a developing country might disagree. A Methodist might think it is unfair that the child of a Jehovah's witness has to leave a classroom when there is a birthday celebration. But, the Jehovah's Witness would disagree.
So, the most we can really get out of this is that everyone want to be a good person but it is pointless to try to lump people all together under one big label and expect them to all think and act alike.
Christians like social justice cuz they are awesome
