Diaspora Missiology: Reflections on Reaching the Scattered Peoples of the World

by Michael Pocock (Editor)

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.

I had mixed feelings about this book because each chapter is written by a different author. Some of the chapters were very academic and used words that most people don't use - those I didn't enjoy or get as much out of. However, some of the chapters I really enjoyed. I am very interested in Diaspora ministry and some were very relevant to what I am involved in.
