Robert Jermain Thomas (c. 17 September &#;&#; disappeared 31 August ) was a Welsh Protestant Christian man who served as a missionary with the London Missionary Service spreading the gospel in China and Korea.
While serving as a missionary in China, Thomas developed a strong desire to work as a missionary in Korea, among it's peoples.
At the time, Korea was closed to foreigners because of the government's fear of foreign influence on Korea.
Many Koreans had been converted by Catholic priests in the end of the 18th century, but the government had around 8, of those converts killed.
