missionary expeditions
Religious outreach travels
Missionary expeditions are organized journeys to spread religious faith, typically to foreign or remote regions.
Christian missionaries historically undertook expeditions to convert indigenous populations, often accompanying colonial expansion.
The term suggests sustained effort and hardship: 19th-century missionary expeditions into the African interior.
Modern usage extends to any organized religious outreach requiring travel.
