dc.descriptionThis book chapter by Daniel Mathano Mwailu examines the relationship between mission and migration, focusing on the development of missiological enterprise in African Christianity and the concept of reverse mission. It explores the biblical and theological foundations of Christian mission, particularly the understanding of mission as Missio Dei (the mission of God), and examines Africa's historical involvement in global missionary activities. The chapter discusses the transformation of African Christianity from being predominantly a recipient of Western missionary initiatives to becoming an active contributor to global evangelization through the sending of missionaries and the establishment of African Christian communities beyond the continent. Particular attention is given to reverse mission, highlighting the growing missionary influence of African churches and Christians in Europe and North America. The chapter demonstrates the significance of migration in expanding Christian mission and the contribution of African Christianity to contemporary global missiological discourse.en_US
