Missionary Conversion

Missionary Conversion is a form of religious conversion characterized by its initiation through organized proselytization efforts in which individuals or groups are systematically targeted by missionaries to adopt a new religious faith, thereby distinguishing it from conversion processes arising from personal inquiry, social integration, or spontaneous spiritual experiences.
