missionary efforts
Spreading the faith
Missionary efforts are organized activities aimed at spreading a religion, typically involving travel to convert people in other regions or communities.
The phrase usually refers to Christian outreach: The church expanded its missionary efforts in Southeast Asia.
By extension, it can describe any zealous attempt to promote a cause or belief: His missionary efforts to convert colleagues to veganism grew tiresome.
