How can you contact a missionary?
Referring to Mormon Missionaries (Missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). The missionaries are not paid by the church or by anyone else. They are volunteers who support themselves having saved their money before they volunteered to serve a mission, or they are supported by their parents or families while on their mission. If you try to give them money they will not accept it by church policy. So, if you would like to assist Mormon missionaries financially, you may make a contribution to the church mission fund. To do this, obtain a 'donations slip and envelope' from any local Mormon church. Fill out the slip, keep your copy, include a check and and mail it to the address on the pre-printed envelope. A missionary will not accept the envelope; it is best to put it in the mail. This contribution is generally tax deductible, but check with your financial advisor.

Sometimes the people already living there were hostile and some robbers/con men preyed on the new settlers.

Why are missionaries important?
Missionaries go out from the church to reach to those who are outside of the church. As long as there are people who are not being reached by local churches, there is a need for missionaries. Often this include crossing national, language, cultural, or sub-cultural barriers. One might divide church ministries into three categories.
1. member care. caring for those who are in the church.
2. church growth. going outside of the church to bring people into the local church.
3. mission. going outside of church to minister with no presumption that people will come into that same church.
If one looks at those three choices. People who are not believers who live in a different culture will not ministered to by member care ministries (since they are not in the church). They will not be ministered to by church growth ministries (since distance or cultural barriers) will make them inaccessible to the local church. It takes missionaries who are willing to leave their home church and work with those who would otherwise never be reached.

What did European missionaries try to accomplish?
Catholic missionaries are attempting to fulfill their baptismal promises. To believe in Jesus Christ, is of necessity, to be a missionary.

Missionaries are typically supported through the church, which will decide on financial need.
AnswerThe income for a missionary varies greatly, because of the exchange rates and cost of living in a particular country, etc. One missionary who lives in a particular country might need twice as much money to live there as he would need in the United States, simply because he loses half his support when he exchanges the dollar for the foreign currency. And normally, another missionary in another country might be able to live on what Americans would consider next to nothing, because the American dollar is worth more there. But right now, all of the missionaries around the world are suffering from the economic situation here in the States, but some countries are worse than others. It would be impossible to really put a single amount on this answer and have it be accurate, because their income varies so greatly. However, I will include an example.I received my examples from a mission board called Baptist International Missions, Inc. Right now, apparently Japan has the worst exchange rate for the American dollar, and it is costing missionaries more to live there. The example that I will include the most information about is Brazil. Brazil is a very large country, so this example does not include all of the areas within Brazil, but it does include most areas. To determine the amount of support that a missionary needs in the year 2009, they go by these general guidelines to come up with a "bottom line" figure:
Cost of living support per month (food, clothing, as well as supplies for the ministry, etc.): $900 per adult, $175 per child
Self-Employment taxes and social security (yes, missionaries still have to pay taxes!): $300-400 month
Housing: $600 per month (some areas in Brazil are more expensive, so this figure could go up to $800 per month)
Utilities: $250 per month
Retirement fund (BIMI requires this): $60-200 month
Medical insurance (For a family of 3 or more; this figure would be less for a couple or individual): $750
Education per child: $250 per month
Travel on field (a car, or bus fares, etc.): $250 month
Furlow fund (most missionaries are recommended to come home about every 4 years to visit supporting churches, get medical care that might not be available in the field, etc.): $100 month
Mission board administrative expenses (mission boards generally take care of a lot for missionaries. They forward all their mail, deposit support into an international account for them, etc.): $150 per month
So for an example, I will provide the bottom line figure for a family of four (Two adults, two kids) to be missionaries in the country of Brazil in the year 2009: $5110 - $5550 per month
On the other extreme, Mormon missionaries, those from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, don't get paid at all! Over 60,000 of them (currently) save their money to serve for 18 to 24 months with no financial compensation at all.

LDS missionaries do not get paid for going on a mission, because we believe that our Gospel is a gift that we love to share with others. It would be an oxi-moron for us to get paid, and how could a church that profits NO MONEY pay for the gospel to spread?
