Profile manager: Zachary Jon Smith [send private message]

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]]
