ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses mission today in the context of Africa and explores challenges faced by the missionary establishment and calls for new ways of reconstructing missions to equip the African Church to enable it to carry out its missionary mandate. The author argues that seeing missions as a reconstruction process calls for critical engagement with justice, peace, and reconciliation in the midst of conflicts and poverty, because to engage in mission work is to participate in the work of the Triune God who creates, sustains, governs, and reconciles the universe. The author discusses the implications of this view of missions; a world held captive by poverty, misfortune, disease and wars, ethnic animosity, superficial faith, and divisions; and the missiological approaches needed to meet today’s challenges.
