First Missionary Journey The book of Acts describes how Paul was ministering in Antioch with Barnabas, when he was directed by the Holy Spirit to be released from his Church duties.

The missionaries role in the novel is not entirely negative and not entirely positive, but instead is neutral so the reader can decide what they think. The missionaries also kept the story flowing.

In Chinua Achebe’s novel, Things Fall Apart and Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions, this is one of the main themes. The authors are able to create a novel that tells a story about the missionaries and colonialism through the eyes of two families in different African societies in a way that your average reader could understand regardless of their background.

I use the missionary leadership style to develop my team and others. This style has been chosen by me due to my concern for others and their growth and development. This style of leadership is used by leaders who are goal-directed and aspire to guide and develop others with a meaningful purpose and a strong personal belief (Taylor, 2016).
