A missionary is a member of a religious group sent into an area to do evangelism or ministries of service, such as education, literacy, social justice, health care and economic development.[1][2] The word "mission" originates from 1598 when the Jesuits sent members abroad, derived from the Latin missionem (nom. missio), meaning "act of sending" or mittere, meaning "to send".[3] The word was used in light of its biblical usage; in the Latin translation of the Bible, Christ uses the word when sending the disciples to preach in his name. The term is most commonly used for Christian missions, but can be used for any creed or ideology. [more]

_Life For Most People Is Governed By Authority And Convention, But Behind These There Lies Always The Mystery Of Human Nature, Uncertain And Elusive, And Apt Now And Again To Go Off At A Tangent And Disturb The Smooth Working Of Organised Routine. Some Man Or Woman Will Appear Who Departs From The Normal Order Of Procedure, Who Follows Ideals Rather Than Rules, And Whose Methods Are Irregular, And Often, In The Eyes Of Onlookers, Unwise. They May Be Poor Or Frail, And In Their Own Estimation Of No Account, Yet It Is Often They Who Are Used For The Accomplishment--Of Important Ends. Such A One Was Mary Slessor._ _Towards The End Of Her Days She Was Urged To Write Her Autobiography, But Was Surprised At The Proposal, And Asked What She Had Done To Merit The Distinction Of Being Put In A Book. She Was So Humble-Minded That She Could Not Discern Any Special Virtue In Her Life Of Self-Sacrifice And Heroism; And She Disliked Publicity And Was Shamed By Praise. When The Matter Was Pressed Upon Her In View Of The Inspiration Which A Narrative Of Her Experiences And Adventures Would Be For Others, She Began To Consider Whether It Might Not Be A Duty, She Never Shrank From Any Duty However Unpleasant. Her Belief Was That Argument And Theory Had No Effect In Arousing Interest In Missionary Enterprise; That The Only Means Of Setting The Heart On Fire The Magnetism Of Personal Touch And Example; And She Indicated That If Account Of Her Service Would Help To Stimulate And Strengthen The Faith Of The Supporters Of The Work, She Would Be Prepared To Supply The Material. She Died Before The Intention Could Be Carried Further, But From Many Sources, And Chiefly From Her Own Letters, It Has Been Possible To Piece Together The Main Facts Of Her Wonderful Career._ [more]
