Global migration’s impact on mission strategy has become a growing focus in global mission.
“Empowering believers already on the move to be frontline kingdom workers is essential in influencing nations for the gospel,” write Harvey Thiessen, Area Leader for Oceania North America with OM, and Alena Popova, a data research analyst with Scatter Global. In their article “Passing the Baton to Evangelical Migrants,” they examine where these workers could have the greatest impact by looking at the migration data of the United Nations and the data of believers moving to the least reached geographic zones.
Discipling, mobilizing, training, and supporting them “will revolutionize how migrant workers see themselves and their role” as witnesses for the gospel wherever God has sent them.
