What was the goal of European missionaries as they travel to the rain forests of central Africa

The main goal of the European missionaries for travelling to the rain forests of Central Africa was to spread the religion of Christianity among the poor people living there. The working class of the region was the main target of the missionaries. They tried to bring spiritual enlightenment and salvation to the workers and their families. The missionaries also brought with them the western style of education to central africa. They also tried to teach the importance of monogamy among the people of this region. It was not always easy for the missionaries as they were often threatened by the constant warfare among the Africans.
