Welcome
Welcome to the new Protestant Missions Project!

| The project launched on July 7, 2023 |
Mission Statement
The Protestant Missions Project highlights the individuals involved in the movement, seeking to develop well-sourced profiles with good biographies and connections to the main tree.
Current Sticker
Add the sticker immediately after the Biography heading of the profile:
{{Religion|image=Protestant_Missions.png|text=was a [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Protestant_Missions Protestant missionary].}}
Note that the sticker does not currently categorize the individual. Be sure to add the following category text immediately before the Biography heading in the profile:
[[Category:Protestant Missionaries]]

I have been with the NZ Project for several years and once did the profile for an NZ saint that had not been done yet then handed it over to the NZ Project to look after. I didn't know you were here! I have currently taken on a bit of a project which is how I found you and I think I should now join. On 2 Sept I covered the Martyrs of New Guinea - the 12 killed by the Japanese in WWII and after finishing the website for the day looked the 1st one up on Wikitree and found HE DIDN'T HAVE A PROFILE HERE! I have put that right after writing to the Australian Mission Board and getting permission to use their information. I have since done 2 more and was looking up the categories for the 3rd when I found you. I intend to do all 12. I hope you find my work acceptable. I have so far done Rev Henry Matthews, Leslie Gariardi and Frances May Hayman.

I'm not completely happy with the way the section now looks, but I think the additional information is important. Please feel free to improve it.
I added the sticker and the category Protestant Missionaries to Reverend Eli Smith and his wives. Is this how you would like these individuals tagged?

My hope is that Missionaries can be recognized as making a great contribution to our world's healing.
