The missionary traveled to Africa to convert the natives, and hasn't been seen since. After years of neglect, the missionary work the men had done faded into the jungle, and nothing remained of their labors.
Islam and Christianity
------------------------ The Berbers of North Africa were pagans or nominal Christians before the arrival of Islam, after which they adopted Islam. Egypt remained predominantly Christian for some centuries after the arrival of Islam, because Christianity had been adopted throughout the country, down to the village level, and was part of the national culture. In North Africa, the region to the west of Egypt, Christianity was the religion of the colonists and was largely restricted to the major cities. When many of the Christian colonists left, there was no cultural association with Christianity among the largely rural Berbers.
There is no one African religion. Different tribes in Africa are accustomed to different religious activities. The three major religions in Africa are Christianity, Islamism and Traditional religion.
Over 95% of Amazigh are Muslims or Agnostics derived from Islam. The remainder are Christian or Jewish and almost all of these live outside of North Africa.

European exploration of Africa began with Ancient Greeks and Romans, that explored and settled in North Africa. Fifteenth Century Portugal, especially under Henry the Navigator probed along the West African coast. Scientific curiosity and Christian missionary spirit soon were subordinated to mercantile considerations, including lucrative trafficking in enslaved persons. Others (Dutch, Spanish, French, English, etc.) joined in African trading, though for centuries European knowledge of Africa's interior was very vague. Much of the blank map was filled in by arduous, often fatal, expeditions in the Nineteenth Century.
