Question: Which missionary helped spread the religion widely practiced in region having the second largest rain-forest in the world?

<P0-S0> Northern Vietnam and the Myanmar Himalayas are the only regions in Southeast Asia that feature a subtropical climate, which has a cold winter with snow. <P0-S1> The majority of Southeast Asia has a wet and dry season caused by seasonal shift in winds or monsoon. <P0-S2> The tropical rain belt causes additional rainfall during the monsoon season. <P0-S3> The rain forest is the second largest on earth (with the Amazon being the largest). <P0-S4> An exception to this type of climate and vegetation is the mountain areas in the northern region, where high altitudes lead to milder temperatures and drier landscape. <P0-S5> Other parts fall out of this climate because they are desert like. <P0-S6> The climate in Southeast Asia is mainly tropical–hot and humid all year round with plentiful rainfall. <SEP> <P1-S0> Islam is the most widely practised religion in Southeast Asia, numbering approximately 240 million adherents which translate to about 40% of the entire population, with majorities in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia and in Southern Philippines with Indonesia as the largest and most populated Muslim country around the world. <P1-S1> Countries in Southeast Asia practice many different religions. <P1-S2> Buddhism is predominant in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Vietnam and Singapore. <P1-S3> Ancestor worship and Confucianism are also widely practised in Vietnam and Singapore. <P1-S4> Christianity is predominant in the Philippines, eastern Indonesia, East Malaysia and East Timor. <P1-S5> The Philippines has the largest Roman Catholic population in Asia. <P1-S6> East Timor is also predominantly Roman Catholic due to a history of Portuguese rule. <SEP> <P2-S0> There are several theories to the Islamisation process in Southeast Asia. <P2-S1> Another theory is trade. <P2-S2> The expansion of trade among West Asia, India and Southeast Asia helped the spread of the religion as Muslim traders from Southern Yemen (Hadramout) brought Islam to the region with their large volume of trade. <P2-S3> Many settled in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. <P2-S4> This is evident in the Arab-Indonesian, Arab-Singaporean, and Arab-Malay populations who were at one time very prominent in each of their countries. <P2-S5> [citation needed] The Sufi missionaries played a significant role in spreading the faith by introducing Islamic ideas to the region. <P2-S6> The second theory is the role of missionaries or Sufis. <P2-S7> Finally, the ruling classes embraced Islam and that further aided the permeation of the religion throughout the region. <P2-S8> The ruler of the region's most important port, Malacca Sultanate, embraced Islam in the 15th century, heralding a period of accelerated conversion of Islam throughout the region as Islam provided a positive force among the ruling and trading classes. <SEP> <P3-S0> sikhism is practiced primarily in gurudwara at kupundole. <P3-S1> an earlier temple of sikhism is also present in kathmandu which is now defunct. <P3-S2> jainism is practiced by a small community. <P3-S3> a jain temple is present in gyaneshwar, where jains practice their faith. <P3-S4> according to the records of the spiritual assembly of the baha'is of nepal, there are approximately 300 baha'is in kathmandu valley. <P3-S5> they have a national office located in shantinagar, baneshwor. <P3-S6> the baha'is also have classes for children at the national centre and other localities in kathmandu. <P3-S7> islam is practised in kathmandu but muslims are a minority, accounting for about 4.2% of the population of nepal. <P3-S8> [citation needed] it is said that in kathmandu alone there are 170 christian churches. <P3-S9> christian missionary hospitals, welfare organizations, and schools are also operating. <P3-S10> nepali citizens who served as soldiers in indian and british armies, who had converted to christianity while in service, on return to nepal continue to practice their religion. <P3-S11> they have contributed to the spread of christianity and the building of churches in nepal and in kathmandu, in particular. <SEP> <P4-S0> korean presbyterian denominations are active in evangelism and many of its missionaries are being sent overseas, being the second biggest missionary sender in the world after the united states. <P4-S1> gsm, the missionary body of the "hapdong" general assembly of presbyterian churches of korea, is the single largest presbyterian missionary organization in korea. <P4-S2> in addition there are many korean-american presbyterians in the united states, either with their own church sites or sharing space in pre-existing churches as is the case in australia, new zealand and even muslim countries such as saudi arabia with korean immigration.
