While I see where you are coming from. I think the basis of all these is still to convert people and show them that "this is what Christianity will bring you if you allow us". We have dedicated charity organisation that are not driven by religion or any word of god, creed or belief. This in effect will make the need for Christians missionaries unnecessary.

My question is more about the motives behind the Christians missionary work I believe. I am sure all these work can be done without it being under the pretence or influence of religion.

Missionaries are the one who brought Christianity to Nigeria, While at the same time ensuring that the local tradition and culture is frowned upon and considered a "pagan" sort of life style. [Just look up the history of missionary work in West Africa. ]

I think one can argue that any organisation which sets out to systematically changes the way people live and what they belief in should be accepted with extreme caution. Given the volatile situation in several parts of the world, perhaps there is no need for their activity?
