Answer:

English colonists - Sir Thomas Dale, Reverend Alexander Whitaker, and John Rolfe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pocahontas did not convert to Christianity of her free will. Her life is much, much more tragic than the Disney movie will tell you. She submitted to the English settlers as a means of survival, cooperating with what they wanted of her to do in order to get by. The colonists, in very basic terms, tried to brainwash Pocahontas into their faith. It's actually unknown if she ever truly accepted it or not.
