Everything on my résumé is true, and I'm not trying to misrepresent who I am or what I did. I'm trying to emphasize the aspects of my time as a missionary that would be relevant to a potential employer. Moreover, "missionary" might mean different things to different people, so I selected terms that would more neutrally convey what I did. Note that on my blog (where I have more space; linked on my résumé) I go into greater detail about my time as a missionary.

No employer (should) care that I was a missionary—but they would be interested in the community service I rendered and the skills I learned in leadership positions. Hence, I emphasize what is relevant in this context.

That you say you find this "extremely disingenuous" makes me think that you would be off-put by service as a missionary and are annoyed that I am supposedly somehow trying to obscure that fact. Are you trying to be hostile? Your tone is definitely aggressive and you're making a lot of assumptions.

How do you know all the tasks they were given? I know people with similar background who worked in an office. Lying would be saying you went to a school somewhere you didn’t or didn’t work as long as you said so. I think you are making a lot of assumptions from a personal bias.

> I know people with similar background who worked in an office

This is true: a lot of people called on "missions" from my faith spend their entire time doing volunteer work in an office, at a food bank, as a tour guide at historical sites, or as a musical performer.

It's not disingenuous, don't worry. Even if there were some reason that proselyting was a juncture for some employment decision (hard to see how there would be, legally, but hypothetically), they could ask you to simply elaborate on that role at an interview.

I'm a largely self-taught technology enthusiast with an education in finance. I have a few years of considerable growth as a Data Specialist and more recently as a Software Engineer, working in DevOps, Data Engineering, & DBA capacities on several concurrent multi-year data projects in a Hybrid-Cloud platform/environment. I maintain a portfolio of personal projects for fun & curiosity. I would very much enjoy the opportunity to work with industry standard cloud tools.
