- Abstract
- The philosophy of missions which governs the mission work in Africa has always stressed evangelization and church planting in rural areas. However, Africa has encountered industrialization, rapid urbanization, and migration into the cities. The mass migration has resulted in poverty, unemployment, housing shortages, hunger and homelessness, prostitution, and delinquent children. Failure to use local languages, culture, and worldview has produced nominal and syncretistic Christians. This project will help churches to effectively change their way of reaching these people. The method of research was based on James and Evelyn Whitehead's tripolar theological method of doing evangelism. The survey results from churches and mission agencies in twenty-four cities showed that the churches are still rural in their approach and practice.
