In the modern world some Christians see part of the purpose of their faith is to share it with others. This includes raising a Christian family, helping others and for some converting others. By doing Jesus’ work they are showing their devotion to God as an act of worship.
Modern Christians may also try to help people (including Christians) facing persecution (as Jesus did). They can do this by giving to charity or sending Bibles.
Colonial priests tried to convert people in other countries. This was called the ‘great mission’ or ‘great commission’. Missionaries were sent to tell others about Jesus.
