Another answer from our community:
- There are many accounts of the persecution of Christians in China, and many Chinese Christians find it necessary to worship in secret. Many of these groups are non-denominational, but also come from a wide cross section of denominations and can suffer severely if detected. Foreign missionaries may not distribute literature, or preach to Chinese people outside of the government regulated churches in the Catholic Patriotic Association and Three-Self Patriotic Movement.

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

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."
