Asians make up the largest and most dispersed peoples of the world, and Christians constitute a sizable proportion of this population. Asian Christians are likely to emigrate, and many have embraced Christian faith at their diasporic destinations. In light of these realities, the Asian Diaspora Christianity series charts the growing interconnections between the Diaspora Christian communities by providing a rich, multidisciplinary, and contemporary perspective on the globalization of Asian Christianity. This volume, the last in the Asian Diaspora Christianity series, brings together scholars of Asian background and a few others who are situated in diverse locations to draw insights on Christian ministry from a diasporic perspective. This volume pays special attention to the Asian diasporic experience in areas of theology and ministry. Issues of a practical nature, such as English-language worship, contextual leadership, and missionary training are included.
Sam George is the director of the Global Diaspora Institute at the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center, and the Catalyst for Diasporas of the Lausanne Movement. After obtaining a BA in mechanical engineering and an MA in management, he worked in engineering firms for ten years. Later, he studied practical theology and missiology in the US and the UK. His recent writings include Refugee Diaspora (William Carey Publishing), Diaspora Christianities (Fortress Press), and Desi Diaspora (SAIACS Press).
