What form of Christianity did missionaries bring to Russia?

Around 987, the pagan Prince Vladimir of Kiev sent envoys to neighbouring lands to find out about other religions. Some say that he rejected Islam because of its ban on alcohol, Judaism because its loss of Jerusalem demonstrated loss of divine support, and finally Catholicism because the Eastern Orthodox churches were more beautiful. Some historians say that Vladimir's real motive was to ally his land with its most powerful neighbours through religion, a decision which led to his adoption of Orthodox Christianity.

In any event, Prince Vladimir was baptised into Orthodox Christianity and required the same of all his subjects.

What is missionaries of charity?

What were the reasons for the clashes between Peter and Paul?

AnswerIn Galatians 2:11ff, Paul says that he publicly rebuked Peter for not treating uncircumcised Christians as equals. Their differences seem to have been over Peter's insistence that gentiles could not become Christians without first becoming Jews.

A completely different view is given in Acts of the Apostles, which quite paradoxically portrays Peter as the sole architect of the policy of accepting uncircumcised gentiles, with Paul passively accepting instructions to preach to the gentiles. On this evidence there was no reason for any differences between Paul and Peter, and none evident in this book.

What missionaries were sent to Latin America?

Yes. Most countries in Latin America have a high percentage of their populations affiliated to the Roman Catholic faith.

How many Christian missionaries in the world?

I've heard two numbers: 400.000 and 700.000 both from fairly reliable sources. So my guess is there are between 4-700.000 career missionaries in the world today. This number does not count people that go on short term missions trips. There are not even a million out there for a world population of 6.6 billion people. Like the Lord said: The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

What do missionaries teach?

This depends entirely on the type of missionaries they are and what organization sent them. Many missionaries are church-planting or proselyting, meaning that they were sent by a church or ministry in order to gain converts to that faith organization. These missionaries will teach the doctrines and practices of their sending organization while supporting or building a local congregation. Other missionaries are service missionaries and focus their teaching and service in areas such as health care, education, farming, or building. Many missionaries do both service and preaching.

When did missionaries start?

Church missions began as soon as the church was founded. The first missionaries were the disciples and the apostle Paul, who went out and preached the gospel to the world. Paul traveled through many foreign countries to share the good news.

Answer: That first missionary trip made by Paul was a milestone in the spread of true Christianity. The book St. Paul's Journeys in the Greek Orient calls it "the real beginning of the Christian mission and of . . . Paul's missionary career." It adds: "Lying at the meeting-place of the sea routes leading to Syria, Asia Minor, and Greece, Cyprus seemed the inevitable first stage of a missionary venture."

What qualifications did Paul possess that made him an effective missionary?

Paul being a Christian was not only indwelt with the Holy Spirit but was filled with the Holy Spirit and knowing the Old Testament thoroughly he taught the Scriptures and told of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. With out this he could of not done what he done by his own power. He was God's (Jesus') apostle to the Gentiles, and he reached most of the known world at that time.

This man has many churches named after him and he was a missionary?

Probably the greatest Christian missionary was St Paul, and so I suspect St Paul is the person you are enquiring about. Many churches are dedicated to him too - the most famous being St Paul's Basilica in Rome (where St Paul is buried) and St Paul's Cathedral, London.

What missionary journeys did Timothy go on?

Timothy was with Paul on several of his trips including: Philippi, Thessalonica, and Beroea. (Acts 16:11-17:10) When angry mobs forced Paul to leave Beroea, he left Silas and Timothy behind to take care of the new group of Christians formed there. (Acts 17:13-15) Paul then sent word to Beroea, advising Timothy to visit the brothers at Thessalonica, to encourage them(1Thessalonians 3:1-3) Apparently rejoining Paul at Corinth, Timothy brought good news about the faithfulness and love of the Thessalonian Christians. (Ac 18:5; 1Thessalonians 3:6) 1Th 1:1; 2Th 1:1.

On Paul's third missionary journey (c. 52-56 C.E.), Timothy again traveled with him. (Acts 20:4.) At Ephesus (1Corinthians 16:8), Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, wrote: "I am sending Timothy to you, as he is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord; and he will put you in mind of my methods in connection with Christ Jesus, just as I am teaching everywhere in every congregation." (1Corinthians 4:17)
Timothy and Paul were together in Macedonia when the second letter to the Corinthians was written. (Acts 19:22; 2Corinthians 1:1; 2:13; 7:5-7)

Later, when Paul wrote to the Romans, apparently from Corinth, Timothy was with him.-Compare Romans 16:21, 23; 1Corinthians 1:14.
Timothy's name is included in letters written by Paul to the Philippians (1:1), Colossians (1:1), and Philemon (vs 1) during the apostle's first imprisonment at Rome for doing the preaching work. It appears that Timothy personally was imprisoned at Rome sometime within the period between the writing of the letter to the Philippians and the one to the Hebrews.-Philippians 2:19; Hebrews 13:23.

What does the word missionary mean?

A missionary is a person sent on a mission.

It is mainly used to refer to christians who go to others to teach them about the Bible. Missionaries go to other people in obedience to Christ's command in the gospel of Matthew.

Mat 28:19 Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Mat 28:20 and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age."
