Last week (September 22-23, 2010) I convened the North American Diaspora Educators Consultation in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Dr. Enoch Wan, President of Evangelical Missiological Society, and Dr. Grant McClung, President of Missions Resource Group assisted me, a world missions resourcing ministry that provides training, consulting, and mentoring to the global Great Commission community

We invited a group of missiologists, missionaries, and professors who represented leading North American seminaries such as Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Wheaton College, Western Seminary, Asbury Theological Seminary, Tyndale Seminary, and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Our discussion was:

•           The urgency of integrating Diaspora Missiology in the missions curriculum;

•           Publication of diasporic literatures in relation to missions.

•           Intentional recruitment of Evangelical scholars to study diasporas in its multi-faceted reality.
