NEW ADVENTURE IN CHRISTIAN MISSIONS： DIASPORA MISSIOLOGY IN ACTION

Abstract

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 be displaced from their beliefs and cultural characteristics very quickly.  They take them with them wherever they go. In this issue of Global Missiology you will be introduced to the idea of the present challenge of reaching the diasporas and training to reach them .
