Modern missionary movement

The Modern Missionary Movement refers to a revitalization of Christian missionary efforts that began in the late 18th century and continued into the 20th century. It focused on spreading Christianity globally, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Modern missionaries aimed to not only share their faith but also to provide education, healthcare, and social services. This movement emphasized a more organized approach, often involving mission societies and training programs for missionaries. It played a significant role in shaping cultural exchanges and influencing local communities, leading to both positive developments and complex cultural interactions.
