Scattered to be Gathered: Ministry to the Migrants

By John Idoko

Scattered to be Gathered - Ministry to the Migrants Migrations, Missions and Diaspora Ministry.The world is witnessing invasions of peoples and cultures into Europe, Americas, Asia and Africa as a result of harsh economic realities, civil wars, terrorism and instabilities in certain parts of the world. In Nigeria for instance, The migration of northern tribes into the Christian South has created an 'emergency' for the Church in the South. And from all indications, the Church is ill-prepared to handle effectively this sudden influx of tribes from "the ends of the earth'' into her neighbourhood. Instead of seeing the migration of the northern tribes into her orbits as opportunity to fulfill the Great Commission without crossing borders, some are perceiving it as a threat to the Church.This book, scattered to be Gathered: Ministry to Migrants, attempts to show the workings of God in helping the church in the South to fulfill the Great Commission in reverse by bringing tribes from the ends of the earth into her neighbourhood through migrations. It is charting a new path to missions in Diaspora Ministry which the church of Jesus Christ must respond to now as opportunities now abound to reach the nations in our Jerusalem.THIS IS BREAKING NEWS There is a global phenomenon going on NOW. Hitherto, people unreached with the gospel, were caged in closed nations by intolerant repressive governments. They were stifled by religious decrees andbrainwashed by decades of teachings and doctrines of fanatical bigots. These precious souls are presently beingscattered to be gathered, by divine order.You would agree with me, that no title or name could be more apt for the description of any work or experience about this phenomenon than, SCATTERED TO BE GATHERED.Though this is breaking news, it is not without precedent. God in His wisdom made it impossible for thereto be harvest without precious seeds being scattered. There is no doubt in my mind, that the writing of thisbook is divinely inspired. I believe that God has used JohnIdoko to break this news to us. However, the question is: What next? Of course God does not give us breaking newsto entertain us, but to recruit us for the needful. The passion and burden of the author is palpable. Theauthor is not just breaking this news with clinical detachment. He is obviously a first responder that has afirsthand experience of the magnitude of the harvest.His clarion call is heart-felt and sincere. Anyone that takes our Lord's command to go out and make disciplesseriously should heed this clarion call. I dare to say that all Christian leaders will find this book a treasure of inestimablevalue.I pray and sincerely hope that as we read this book, our eyes shall be anointed with divine eye salve to see themultitudes scattered around us.As we see the scattered, we must gather them in. For that reason, and that reason alone, has the Lord given us thisbreaking news and opened our eyes to see the scattered through His servant, John Idoko.Pastor Sonny O. Wogu
