religious missions
Evangelical outreach stations
Religious missions are organized efforts to spread faith, typically by sending representatives to convert others or provide humanitarian aid in the name of a religion.
Christian missions have been most prominent historically, establishing churches, schools, and hospitals worldwide.
A mission can also be the physical station where such work occurs: the old Spanish missions of California.
Mission work often combines evangelism with charitable service.
