Missionaries

Each sending agency has its own requirements. Some are much more stringent in their qualifications than others. Some qualifications might be education, age, gender, denominational affiliation, marital status, or whether or not the candidate has children. Generally it's expected that a missionary be a Christian, active in their local church, able to raise their own support, and capable of sharing the Gospel message and/or discipling others.

You'll have to clarify the question. There is no "white wash" term in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including anywhere in the missionary aspect of that church.

The number is very large , so you can not say exactly how many.

The missionaries were followed by the Spanish army, who were taking over the Filipino government.

There are two missions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) in Ghana.

The mission home for the Ghana Accra Mission can be contacted by mail to:

P.0. Box 2585 main

Accra, Ghana

or by calling 011.233.21.222531 .

The physical address of the mission home is not available.

The mission home for the Ghana Cape Coast Mission can be contacted by mail to:

PMB CC 1385

Cape Coast, Ghana

Again, the physical address of the mission home is not available.

In many missions, especially those in Africa, the physical address of the mission home and missionaries apartments are not available - not even to immediate family members. This is due to excessive violence and vandalism toward Church members and buildings. The Church wants to keep it's missionaries safe!

Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) only go door-to-door when they don't have anything else to do. Missionaries are required to spend every day from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. doing service and preaching the gospel. If they don't have any teaching appointments or meetings and have not been asked to do service, they either contact people in public places (parks, town centers, etc) or they go door to door.

Going door to door is not very effective, and missionaries only do it as a last resort. They would prefer to be teaching people who are interested in hearing their message or doing service in the community.

Long Answer:

The word "missionary" is subject to multiple definitions, but we could say that a biblical missionary is one who left one culture and traveled to another to communicate the "good news"--the offer of reconciliation with God and life that such reconciliation brings.

In this definition, Jesus himself is the missionary par excellence. Having left heaven, he emptied himself of the divine attributes that were rightfully his in order that he might fully enter the world of humanity as a man. In his life he most fully communicated the offer of reconciliation with God, and in his death he paved the way for it.

According to early Christian tradition, all of the apostles also became missionaries (except for Judas, who had hanged himself). All were Jewish, but in the process of following Christ's parting command to "make disciples of all nations", traveled throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. For example, Peter is believed to have finally died in Rome itself, while Thomas is believed to have traveled all the way to India.

However, it is Paul of Tarsus who is often considered the greatest (human) missionary. After a remarkable conversion experience, Paul set himself to spreading the gospel. According to the Acts of the Apostles, he eventually made at least four missionary journeys through Asia Minor, Greece, Macedonia, and Rome. In each city, Paul preached in Jewish synagogues and public places and succeeded in starting small communities of Christians in many places despite frequent persecution. Since the book of Acts appears to have been written before Paul had yet died, it is possible that he went on to visit more places. Church tradition maintains that Paul eventually went even as far as Spain.

Paul was nearly always accompanied with companions in his missionary travels, including Barnabus, Luke, Mark, and many others. Additionally, many of Paul's disciples also became missionaries, such as Apollos, Aquila and Priscilla, Timothy and Titus.

Other New Testament missionaries include Philip, the deacon. Originally selected to help the early Church take care of widows and orphans, Philip also traveled and preached.

If we loosened our working definition of missionary, there might be several we could mention from the Old Testament, but as it is I will limit it to Jonah. According to the book of Jonah, God called a prophet named Jonah to preach a message of repentance to the Assyrian capital of Nineveh. Since Assyria had long been a ruthless oppressor of Israel and other surrounding lands, Johah initially refused. According to the book of Jonah, God was able to use a giant fish to change his mind, and Jonah reluctantly delivered his message.

Christian missionaries tend to come from nations where Christianity is permitted, and the nation has people who are wealthy enough to not need to work and rather spread the word of God.

Such nations are found primarily in Europe, such as England, France, Greece, Italy, Spain and the Americas like Canada, the United States and sometimes Brazil. There is a large rising of Protestant missionaries to formerly catholic nations like Mexico, Central America and South America, and there is a huge expanse in Eastern Orthodoxy by the Greeks and Ukrainians in regions like Korea, China, Brazil, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and the Polynesian Islands. Today Catholosism is spreading more slowly but is still strong in India, Africa, Polynesia and sometimes in Asia

San Gabriel was the 2nd capitol of the area now existing as the State of New Mexico, and yes, there was a mission there.

History-

On July 11, 1598 the Spanish explorer, Juan de Onate and his privately financed expedition, (which consisted of nearly two hundred soldier-colonists, many with wives and families, nine Franciscan priests, several hundred Indian servants and allies, as well as thousands of head of livestock), made it to the native village of Ohkay Owingeh. Juan de Onate renamed it San Juan, and as with the other native cities he'd passed through while traveling North, up the Rio Grande from New Spain (Mexico), he claimed all of the land he saw for his country of Spain. It appears that the Spanish intended to stay here because they did indeed refer to San Juan Pueblo as the first capitol of this area.

This native town of San Juan must not have fit the Spanish' needs, because they soon moved across the river, and a little North, to the native city of Yungue Oweenge. The native people here relocated to Ohkay Owingeh, and moved in with their relatives. Yungue Oweenge was renamed, San Gabriel de los Españoles (sometimes referred to as San Gabriel de la Paz), and became the 2nd capitol.

Yes, there was a mission church added to the original native buildings at San Gabriel. But fifteen years later this area was fairly abandoned by the Spanish, few families left here. Many of them had abandoned New Mexico entirely and moved back to Mexico. Juan Onate was no longer in favor in New Mexico when the colonists moved on to what is now Santa Fe, the last capitol, in about 1610 - 1613.

Because this land, both San Pedro & San Gabriel, is owned by the native people, the deserted mission at San Gabriel was not fully investigated until 1965, when an invitation was extended by the Pueblo to excavate and determine the scope of the mission and the surrounding buildings. Florence Hawley Ellis, an archeologist at The University of New Mexico with students, attended the dig.

A paper was published by Ellis , but owing to a lack of funds, (according to her), no official report of her work was immediately published. In 1989, she did bring out a small narrative history of the excavations, "San Gabriel del Yungue", published by Sunstone Press.

There may be some photos or drawings available, but unfortunately for all of us, the entire site was backfilled.

the people who help form the missionaries. got the so called "half caste" aborigines and rounded them up. and they got only the half castes because they wanted to get rid of the aborigines out of Australia. so they thought they will breed them out. so they would have a half caste have a kid to a white man then that kid will be whiter and it goes on...

and sometimes they'll do that to full bloods as well.

There probably are a few Christian missionaries, but the Syrian Civil War is hindering their access to the population and large swathes of Syria are under control of ISIL which imposes Shari'a Law and murders missionaries.

Missionary work in England is very prominent. There are several organizations that welcome people to help spread the word of God. OSCAR is a program in England that will locate a missionary group for you.

Anyone can be a missionary- if you're asking about Christian missions, God calls all believers to be involved in reaching the world with the Gospel...
