Migration and the African Christian Diaspora in the United States: Imperative of Cross-cultural Mission

Abstract

It is pedestrian knowledge that the United States is made up of a diversity of people(s) from different parts of the world. Either by voluntary or involuntary migration, people who were citizens of other countries but now make their living in the United States constitute the Diaspora community. The law, policy and process of obtaining entry and immigration to the United States exult in promoting that diversity. Consequently, the United States of America is home to an amalgam of people of different races, sexes, statuses and creeds. A sizable percentage of the Diaspora community comes from Africa. In ‘the land of the free’ that is the United States, several cultures and belief systems find ground to seed, tend, and perpetuate their expressions.
