Overview:
missions under Jesuit Matteo Ricci and Franciscans, Dominicans, and Augustinians--Jesuits tried to adopt the language and culture of the native peoples; other missionaries tried to get Chinese to reject their culture in favor of Christianity.
Qualities needed:
Patience: converting a community of peoples takes time and patience.
Cultural Adaptation: much like Matteo Ricci, you will need to adapt to the Chinese culture, this means learning to read/write and speak Chinese. Also you need to understand and embrace their culture.
