lots of missionaries do a lot of social work for the
community, not just religious teaching. As I've said before, I think it's not
unreasonable to expect someone getting a meal at a soup kitchen to sit
through a sermon in exchange.


My grandfather was a medical missionary (a doctor) in China. He let his life speak for him; he was just such a wonderful person that people wanted to know what his beliefs were that brought him with such cheer to the privations of living in near squalor and treating people nobody else was willing to treat. He shared his faith when asked, but never imposed on anybody. But when somebody is so obviously joyful in their life, people want to know why. The most effective form of missionary work, IMO.
