HISTORY AND THEOLOGY of God’s mission inform the philosophy and practice of mission. Among mission historians, Andrew Walls is credited with prompting the realization that the center of gravity for Christian witness has shifted from the North to the Global South. This missiological phenomenon has implications for the Global Church today, particularly in Africa. The perception and appropriation of the shift from North to South ought to be governed by a sound biblical theology of mission. In his monumental work, Mission in the Modern World, John Stott states, “Mission arises primarily out of the nature not of the church but God himself. The living God of the Bible is a sending God” (1975, 21). Jehovah is a missionary God. Sign in and read more from Lazarus Phiri on The Great Shift: Africa in Missions. emqonline
