Joao III invites the Jesuits to carry out their apostolic mission in the lands of Portugal's overseas empire.
Francisco Xavier leaves Portugal in 1541 for India as a result of the king's request.
He arrives in Goa in 1542 and immediately begins proselytizing among the indigenous inhabitants, converting many thousands.
From Goa he goes to Cochin and Ceylon; in 1545 he travels to Malacca, and in 1549, to Japan, where he stays for two years.
After returning to Goa, in 1552 he goes to China, where he dies.
