Scattered To be gathered - Ministry to Migrants

<p>God is hastening the return of Christ. He is doing that by</p><p>making the proclamation of the gospel to people that</p><p>hitherto have been locked up in regions that were</p><p>considered closed to the Gospel. How is God doing this? He is</p><p>doing this by allowing cataclysms all over the world that are</p><p>causing massive movement of people from those spots to</p><p>other parts of the world. Few years ago movement of</p><p>refugees from some parts of the Middle East to Europe</p><p>became a global problem. Migration of people (for whatever</p><p>reasons) has become a present day phenomenon that we</p><p>cannot avoid talking about. Even in missions missiologists</p><p>have come out with a new buzz word: Diaspora missiology.</p><p>This is a new way of thinking. Unreached people can be</p><p>reached not only in their home lands but also everywhere</p><p>else because many of the unreached people are already</p><p>Diaspora people.</p><p> </p><p>Here in Nigeria people are also moving massively from</p><p>the Northwest North central and Northeast to the South in</p><p>large numbers. Most of these people are not migrating as</p><p>refugees though some are. The majority are moving</p><p>because of normal human migrations. This movement of</p><p>northern people to the South did not start today; it has been</p><p>there for ages. Maybe we are just awakening to this reality or</p><p>it is that the momentum has greatly increased in recent time. </p>
