Some missionaries' lives are too tangentially connected with #Wales to be considered for inclusion in the #Bywgraffiadur. That said, their lives are not less worthy of recognising, but may need a different format or place for publication. Such as the case of Issac Khamis. From what I can piece together, he was born c.1859 into an #Assyrian Christian family. He spent some time preaching and acting as a missionary when he decided in the late 1880s to walk across Europe to London to enroll at a college and learn English to improve his chance at collecting financial support for the Christian mission in the #MiddleEast. As part of this journey, he also spent considerable time in Wales, speaking to many congregations about the #EasternChurch and his own life. In the early 1890s then he returned home to continue his work.
