Diaspora, Migration & Mission: New Missional Opportunities & Challenges

Instructors: Dr Narry Santos & Dr Teresco C Casino

People are on the move globally in unprecedented numbers. Some are forced to leave their countries because of war, political oppression, economic necessity, or social pressure, while others migrate for familial, educational, or professional reasons. The growing phenomenon of "diaspora" presents new missional opportunities for the global church, challenges traditional paradigms of mission, and raises questions of justice and equality. This course examines the biblical and theological foundations of diaspora missiology in order to develop new frameworks for participating in God's redemptive mission among people living outside their places of origin. Case studies of diaspora ministry will be explored (e.g. Chinese, Filipino, Latino, Middle Eastern etc.) with a focus on issues of globalization, migration, urbanization, social action, and the refugee experience.
