African Pentecostals in the Diaspora explores the theology of mission in the context of African Pentecostals in the diaspora, using the Apostolic Faith Mission in the United Kingdom as a case study. Author Solomon Kgatle develops a Pentecostal theology of diaspora mission using a pneumatological missional imagination as a theoretical framework. This framework is developed using the theories of pneumatological imagination, missiological spirit and missional imagination. The pneumatological missional approach is proposed for missionpraxis such as praise and worship to accommodate believers beyond African migrants. The book makes a conceptual contribution to the theology of mission through analysis of the African Pentecostal diaspora mission. The book also makes a theoretical contribution by bringing pneumatological missional imagination to existing theories of pneumatological imagination, missiological spirit and missional imagination.
The book will be vital reading for both practitioners of mission in African Pentecostal churches and missiologists in Africa and the diaspora.
The pneumatological imagination concept inspired by the Day of Pentecost narrative and growing in prominence among Pentecostal theologians is here developed in a missiological direction. If the Lukan horizons extended from Jerusalem to the ends of the Earth, the trajectory in these pages is from the farthermost regions of the southern hemisphere to the highest extents of the global north. Solomon Kgatle's latest in a series of wide-ranging books hereby not only enriches the global Pentecostal theological conversation but expands his multidisciplinary repertoire as a missiologist.
- Amos Yong, Professor of Theology and Mission, Fuller Seminary.
Solomon Kgatle has done the world church a huge favour by placing Pentecostal pneumatological theology in dialogue with the missional church movement and contextual theology. His approach, which includes an important fieldwork case study, is fresh and illuminating. Overall the book has serious implications for Pentecostals and others undertaking missions in the diaspora.
-Dr. Nigel Rooms, Co-Editor of Ecclesial Futures Journal
An enlightening exploration of African Pentecostals in the diaspora, with the Apostolic Faith Mission in the UK serving as a case study, this book masterfully intertwines contextual, conceptual, and theoretical frameworks. By integrating the pneumatological imagination, missiological spirit and missional imagination, it offers a ground-breaking pneumatological Pentecostal theology of diaspora mission. Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary theological studies, missiology, and church growth.
- Josh Chigorimbo, Vice President of the Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries, United Kingdom.
