The history of Christian missions is usually told from the perspective of the pioneers, the daring explorers, the "number ones." These were the eloquent preachers and evangelists, doctors and social workers, powerful organizers and leaders, and scholars who pioneered the study of foreign cultures and languages. Most of them were intelligent, dedicated men who sacrificed their lives for what they believed was a direct call from God. They were featured in reports and were writers themselves, fascinating people at home with their accounts and appeals. They were both celebrated and respected. (1)
