Sent Forth: African Missionary Work in the West

American Society of Missiology

by Harvey C. Kwiyani

Written by an African-born scholar and pastor serving in the United States, this book demonstrates that African Christianity has held a missionary impulse since the days of the early Church, one that continued throughout history in many contexts (including the United States).
Today, African missionaries witness to the "blessed reflex," the notion that the continued evangelization of the world will need and profit from the energies of the African churches.
Scholars, interested in current trends within contemporary missiology, in particular the presence and influence of African Christians and missionaries in Europe and North American, will find this book relevant to their work. It will also speak to pastors and congregational leaders who seek to work effectively with the African immigrant Christians, as well as African Christians who wish to be effective missionaries in the west.
