DIASPORA MISSIOLOGY FOR GLOBAL MISSIOLOGY
PROLOGOMENA
We are living on the crest of a wave that could be
called A NEW ADVENTURE IN CHRISTIAN MISSIONS!
It
Is the 21st Century! We are Christians in the 21st
Century! People all over the world are moving all over the world. Many
of these people are displaced by war, famine, political and religious
oppression, and a variety of personal reasons showing their pursuit of a
“better life.”
People
who are moving and scattered around the world away from their homelands
constitute diasporas. Diaspora is a
word used for people groups that are displaced from the lands of origin or even
cities of origin. However, many if
not most of the people who scatter around the world will not necessarily be displaced from their beliefs and
cultural characteristics. They take them with them wherever they go, just as
you and I would do with our beliefs. In this Diaspora Journal you will be provided
with a variety of weblinks, both Christian and non-Christian. You will find
useful materials for your research, your
studies, and for your outreaches to the vast and varied Diasporas around your locale.
The
Diaspora Journal originated with the vision of Enoch Wan, PhD. Our innovative,
courageous, passionate brother in Christ has started this Journal to
provide a unique resource to the Body of Christ for reaching the Diasporas around the world. It is now being expanded to
meet more needs as they arise.
