General Resources

• Strangers Next Door: Immigration, Migration and Mission by J. D. Payne is a second helpful resource. “As we understand and embrace the fact that the least-reached people groups now reside in (and continue to migrate to) Western countries, churches have unprecedented opportunites to freely share the gospel with them. This book includes practical guidelines for doing crosscultural missions and developing a global strategy of mission.”
• Crossroads of the Nations by Jared Looney is a good basic book for those interested in Diaspora Ministry. It deals with the mega themes of globalization, urbanization and migration which are transforming global missions. These changes are blurring the boundaries between local and global outreach presenting both new opportunities and challenges. The author paints a picture of evangelism and Church planting in our urban and global world through actual accounts and tells a story of transnational missions impacting our world.
