missionary
A missionary is a member of a religious group sent into an area to proselytize and/or perform ministries of service, such as education, literacy, social justice, health care and economic development.〔(Missionary | Define Missionary at Dictionary.com ). Dictionary.reference.com. Retrieved on 2011-01-19.〕〔Thomas Hale 'On Being a Missionary' 2003, William Carey Library Pub, ISBN 0-87808-255-7〕 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".〔(Online Etymology Dictionary ). Etymonline.com. Retrieved on 2011-01-19.〕 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.〔For example, Buddhism launched "the first large-scale missionary effort in the history of the world's religions" in the 3rd century BCE. (Richard Foltz, ''Religions of the Silk Road'', Palgrave Macmillan, 2nd edition, 2010, p. 37 ISBN 978-0-230-62125-1)〕
