Lausanne Global Classroom: Diaspora

Video
  • Approximate Time Commitment: 45 minutes

The first Global Classroom episode focuses on diaspora, a global phenomenon that has marked the 21st century. Today, more than ever before, people are on the move, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and for various reasons—terrorism, economic collapse or opportunity, famine, human trafficking, education, to mention a few. There is a tremendous opportunity for ministry to, through, and beyond diaspora peoples. Learn more about Lausanne Global Classroom

Resource Description

 

Episode Outline

  • DIASPORA OVERVIEW
    • Video 1: Redefining ‘Diaspora’ Joy Tira, Lausanne Catalyst for Diaspora, gives a basic definition of diaspora.
    • Video 2: Who are Diaspora Peoples? Yemenis, Filipinos, refugees, and international students are examples of people on the move.
    • Video 3: Why are People on the Move? A brief examination of the dynamics of ‘push’ (what pushes people out of their homeland, whether voluntarily or involuntarily); and ‘pull’ (what pulls people to a particular country).
  • BIBLICAL, THEOLOGICAL, AND HISTORICAL INSIGHTS ON DIASPORA
  • MISSION AND DIASPORA
    • Video 7: Mission To, Through and Beyond the Diasporas. People in diaspora are not just people to reach out to, but people whom God is using to reach the world.
    • Video 8: The Foreigner and Displaced as Gospel Vessels. The gospel brings hope to those forced from their homes, brings transformation to strangers of different faiths living within reach of Christians, and grows the church as Christians enter countries where the gospel has not been welcome.
  • UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON ON THE MOVE
