After the Church was organized 6 April 1830, the prophet Joseph Smith called his brother, Samuel Smith, to become the first missionary for the Church.

These individuals were not a part of official missions, instead serving in various locations for varied amounts of time.

This organization will also include early missionaries to Canada and Mexico.
