Early Christian missionary (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apostle

'early christian missionary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for apostle that I've seen before include "Thaddeus, perhaps" , "Vigorous supporter" , "Leaps to find religious follower" , "[JAMES] , for one?" , "Evangelist, proponent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
