==Description==
A diplomatic '''mission''' is a group of people from one [[state]] or an international inter-governmental organisation (such as the United Nations) present in another [[state]] to represent the sending state/organisation in the receiving state. In [[practice]], a diplomatic mission usually denotes the permanent mission, namely the office of a country's diplomatic [[representatives]] in the [[capital]] [[city]] of another country.
Religious missionary activities often involve sending [[individuals]] and [[groups]] (called "missionaries"), to foreign countries and to places in their own homeland. This has frequently involved not only [[evangelization]], but also humanitarian [[work]], especially among the [[poor]] and disadvantaged. Missionaries have the [[authority]] to preach their respective [[faith]], and provide humanitarian work to improve [[economic]] [[development]], literacy, [[education]], [[health]] care, and orphanages.
