The term "missionaries" as understood in contemporary contexts—individuals sent to spread the message of Christianity—does not explicitly appear in the Bible. However, the concept is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, particularly in the New Testament. The Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:19-20, underscores the call to evangelize: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." This directive not only emphasizes the act of spreading the Gospel but also signifies the role of believers as active participants in God’s mission to reach all peoples.Throughout the New Testament, figures such as the Apostle Paul exemplify the missionary role. Paul’s missionary journeys, as recorded in the Book of Acts, illustrate the early church's commitment to preaching the Gospel to both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 13-14; 15:36-41). His letters often address the communities he established, indicating a continuous relationship and support for their spiritual growth. Thus, while the label "missionary" is modern, its essence is biblically rooted in the call to evangelize and disciple all nations, reflecting God's desire for all to know Him (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
