In Honolulu the first missionaries are already teaching our people to read and write.

The missionaries were teaching Bible and biblical languages in the Seminary.

Joseph, speaking in the perfect English the missionaries taught him, said, "What was the point of all that?"

The missionaries taught the local people carpentry, masonry and boat making, all valuable skills.

Provisions for education were not started for several years; only a few missionaries taught the Sioux bands.

The missionaries provided medical services and taught the local Yao people in their own language, with some success.

The missionaries, as teachers, taught modern geography and astronomy, among other subjects.

The missionaries even established a school on Lifou Island, and from 1840 to the early 20th century taught most of the population to read.

The missionaries taught Christianity in terms of what was already familiar to the indigenous people.

The missionaries taught Hawaiians and began writing the islands' history, which until then existed only as oral accounts.
