A missionary is a member of a religious group sent into an area to do evangelism or ministries of service, such as education, literacy, social justice, health care and economic development. The word "mission" originates from 1598 when the Jesuits sent members abroad, derived from the Latin missionem (nom. missio), meaning "act of sending" or mittere, meaning "to send". The word was used in light of its biblical usage; in the Latin translation of the Bible, Christ uses the word when sending the disciples to preach in his name.
The term is most commonly used for Christian missions, but can be used for any creed or ideology.
A Christian missionary can be defined as "one who is to witness across cultures." The Lausanne Congress of 1974, defined the term, related to Christian mission as, "to form a viable indigenous church-planting movement." Recognizing justice as being at the heart of the Gospels, some modern missionaries now promote the development of western government[citation needed], education and economic structure[citation needed] in the place of pre-existing local systems and tradition. Missionaries can be found in many countries around the world.
Michael Edward Palin, CBE, PRGS (born 5 May 1943) is an English comedian, actor, writer and television presenter best known for being one of the members of the comedy group Monty Python and for his travel documentaries. Palin wrote most of his comedic material with Terry Jones. Before Monty Python, they had worked on other shows such as the Ken Dodd Show, The Frost Report and Do Not Adjust Your Set. Palin appeared in some of the most famous Python sketches, including "Argument Clinic," "Dead Parrot," "The Lumberjack Song," "The Spanish Inquisition," and "The Fish-Slapping Dance."
Palin continued to work with Jones after Python, co-writing Ripping Yarns. He has also appeared in several films directed by fellow Python Terry Gilliam and made notable appearances in other films such as A Fish Called Wanda, for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Plot: "By the Soles of Our Feet" is an adventure set in a surreal world where not only time, but also people, are constantly marching on, unable to stop or turn back as they go. Along with the surreal, the journey collides with life's everyday realities of fear, greed and hate - while still making room for bravery, compassion and love. And, just as we do, the people in this world eventually question where they are going. And, more importantly, why. This is Pepe's dilemma. Always convinced he was put on this earth to avenge his father's murder, Pepe's been searching for the killer ever since he could walk. But after more than 20 years, he's not a step closer to fulfilling his heroic destiny so he accepts suicide as his fate. Bucco, his faithful, right-hand man, is terrified of the possibility of having to walk through life alone, so he convinces Pepe to rewrite his reason for existing and proposes they go in search of a new, and even more glorious destiny. Pepe reluctantly accepts and, with the help of Bucco, he tries to find a purpose through several adventures, each one marked by a different movie genre, such as the romantic comedy, melodrama, documentary, horror and film noir, affecting the tone and visual style of the story. "By the Soles of Our Feet" was created as a farce with a brain, a mockery of the "Hero's Journey," and an excuse to laugh at the expense of such serious notions as immortality and destiny. It's a philosophical road-trip that delights the audience with unexpected twists, turns and bumps along the way.

I kill and words will defend it
Got big plans
Blood stained hands
Wanna see my name on the map
On my way to save the world
Got a brand new set of words the going rate is cheap
Unconditional devotion unquestioning belief
Words carved in stone chiseled in with sharpened bones
Of the ones who thought my righteousness was something to oppose
Can you see the flag rising up beyond the smoke
Of dying authors burning books there was a problem with what they wrote
The flag is hard to read because all flags start to look the same
When covered w/the blood of the faithless and insane
Man of many names but the motives stay the same
My actions are a means to an end
