How do you deal with gossip in a Christian way?
The way to deal with gossip is to not participate in it at all. Gossip is a bad thing because when we gossip about someone or a particular thing about that person, we are saying things that might not be true but just our opinion. This can cause hurt feelings and we don't want to ever intentionally hurt a persons feelings. If, you are with someone who starts gossiping about someone else, tell them you would rather not talk about it or just simply change the subject quickly. Gossip never accomplishes anything accept hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

How did the Africans feel about the missionaries?
From the lighter side(!);
My very young son once said, " Some African people thought missionaries were very tasty and boiled them before eating. "
- Most of the Africans who don't have any faith in GOD but who still believe in statues do not accept the missionaries and they kill them or eat them as they think it is legal and fair to punish them in this way...
- In most of the Africans countries,it is not accepted to preach because it is illegal to preach the name of JESUS which is not the formal religion of the African countries because the formal religion of the African countries is the Islam religion...but it is always depending on the country itself...we should respect the laws and the regulations of all the countries
What must have been allowed by the Romans for Christianity to spread so far and wide?
By the third century, Christianity was well established in and around Greece and the Middle East, as well as in Rome, Alexandria, Carthage and a few cities such as Lyons in the 'barbarian' western Europe.
Christianity had largely failed to penetrate Egypt outside Alexandria, or much of western Europe. Even Italy, outside the city of Rome, seems to have largely resisted Christianity. It seems that the Egyptian and Celtic religions had not entered a period of decline and scepticism in the way that the Greco-Roman religion had done. However, there was no impediment to Christians preaching in those areas, other than a lack of interest on the part of the population.
Christian tradition suggests that the Christians suffered constant harrassment and persecution by the Roman authorities. However, Euan Cameron (Interpreting Christian History: The Challenge of the Churches' Past) says, "Contrary to popular tradition, the first three centuries of Christianity were not times of steady or consistent persecution. Persecution was sporadic, intermittent, and mostly local." Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) goes further and, on a number of occasions, praises the pagan Romans for their general tolerance towards Christianity. Widespread and persistent persecution of other faiths only really began with the Christian Empire.
There was a total of perhaps 12 years of official persecution of Christianity during nearly three hundred years in which Christianity existed in the pagan Empire. Otherwise, the Christians were largely allowed to worship as they pleased, and even to proselytise their faith, as long as they took care not to offend others or disturb the peace. This allowed Christianity to prosper and spread far and wide.
Most people who become missionaries do so because they feel that God is directing them into that path. They desire to serve others, using the gifts that God has given them, whether that be pastoring, medical service, or teaching. Many missionaries also enjoy travel and adventure, which is definitely a part of the job.

Where do missionaries come from?
Missionaries usually come from their particular church or denomination. An individual might decide to become a missionary after they feel the burden of responding to their religion's call for missionaries (for example, a Christian's call from the Bible can be found in Mark 16:15 "And he (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature"). They are then sent from and supported by their particular church or denomination to go into the world with the "mission" of sharing their faith and persuading others to join them in their faith. Often missionary work is accompanied by humanitarian work, such as caring for the sick (a medical missionary), teaching, running orphanages, etc. There is a link that can provide more information on missionaries on the bottom of this page entitled "What is a missionary?", or you can copy and paste this link:http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary.

How do you become a missionary?
Answer:
Each board has different requirements but most will ask for a bachelor's degree and a degree from a seminary.
Try talking to a counselor at a seminary or contacting the board you want to work with such as International Mission Board (in association with Southern Baptist Committee).
You will want to have a bachelor's degree in the field you wish to work, ideally but typically not required (if you want to teach abroad, try a teaching degree).
Right now you want to search your heart and make sure this is the life God wants for you, this is a huge commitment and might require you to learn new languages, sleep on the ground or on cement, not eat your regular food, etc. If it is then great!
Eventually you will be asked to share your testimony and why you want to be a missionary and when you discovered this path for your life.
Answer: You've got a lot of thinking to do: First consider if you want to. A missionary is a person who is so convinced that they are right that they are willing to tell others that they and their cultural traditions are wrong. Consider how you would react if a number of followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster came to your town to convert you and your family - offering medicines and food to those who saw the light and a cold shoulder for those who didn't, who gave all the kids in town shiny new iPods for coming to "fun" meetings on the weekend.
Next chose which group you wan to work with. There are a lot of "not nice" charities out there who want to prey on volunteers and separate donors from their cash. You don't want to join up with them. Are they aboveboard or do they force conversion by with holding benefits to those who won't convert, Are they a sham group who have dumped volunteers in the wild when the funds ran low. Are they insured and do they offer health benefits. What is their policy on getting hostages back. What happens if you come back sick and crippled?
Then, what's in it for you? Do they pay and feed you or do they make you pay to work for them. What useful training do you get - first aid, trades skills (e.g. welding), foreign language training. Do you get yearly repatriation? Ask what message you want to spread. Maybe you're more interested in doing non-sectarian good work like "Doctors Without Borders"
