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"

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has over 14 million members worldwide. They do not make their membership lists public and it would be impossible to keep such a large list updated and current.
If you would like to know if someone is a member of a local Mormon congregation, the only way to find out would be to contact the Bishop of that congregation, who has access to the current records.
A search of the over 20,000 Mormon congregations for "Crossgates" came up only with the Dunfermline Congregation in Scotland, which is near the town of Crossgates.
The contact information for the Dunfermline congregation is:
