Only later on the missionaries came & provided education in the colonial tongues all over the world. They also brought Christianity all over although it existed in some places before the European powers themselves became Christian. But they also brought slavery & other forms of exploitation which some of them still do. The same powers also bought communication etc and Christianity has to use it to further bring the truth of the Gospel the world over. The other one is to get missionaries to get familiar with the local languages & dialects to be more effective and to treat the local Christians as equals but who need help.
