ABSTRACT
This chapter examines one of the newly emerging, transnational, social sites that has developed in the process of intercontinental migration of Ghanaians abroad. It argues that its appeal is based on the opportunities it provides for bringing kinship obligations under the supervision of its individual members. The chapter explains how and why gifting is considered morally and spiritually hazardous by most Ghanaian migrants. One of the most important concerns of Pentecostal Churches and their members in the diaspora is the obligation to give, to remit money back home usually to one's mother and sisters. The chapter focuses on how this positions the Pentecostal believer within the gift economy of the Church, and within Dutch society.
