Diaspora Missiology #23 EMS: Reflections on Reaching the Scattered Peoples of the World (Evangelical Missiological Society)

Synopsis

For Many Years, Cross-cultural Missions Were Directed To People In The Countries Of Their Birth, Generally In Majority World Areas. Foreigners Present Among Or Around The Intended Focus Of Ministry Were Not Viewed As Part Of Mission Ministry. Diaspora Missions Focus On These Peoples, Who Are Now Actually And Virtually In More Accessible Places. This Book Will Help You Understand The Dynamics Behind This Accelerated Movement Of Peoples From One Region To Another, Biblical Principles And Precedents That Guide Ministry Today, The Application Of Social And Communication Studies, And Actual Cases Of Ministry To And With Diaspora Peoples.
