Restored church of Christ Missionaries Conspiracy?
It is not a conspiracy; missionaries from the church of Christ are men and women of God. They leave their homes for usually around two years, pay their own way, and go to teach the world about Jesus Christ and the peace that comes in following Him. They go to different countries all over the world and spread the gospel in many different languages. After they return from their missions, they start a career, get jobs and have families.

Why Do Missionaries from the restored church of Christ Do What they Do?
The church they belong to is called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The church sends missionaries to different parts of the world because of the commandment in the Bible: "And he [Jesus] said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
