The UK as both mission field and mission force

“Mission on our doorstep” is a phrase we’ve heard again and again over the last decade. The idea is simple and observable: record numbers of migrants (whatever their motivation – economic, educational, political, etc.) have been streaming into the United Kingdom, and we only need to step out our front gate to see that people from all over the world are choosing to make a life for themselves alongside ours.

Because of migration, cross-cultural mission has never been easier. The mission field is literally next door.

If we look a little more closely, however, we’ll see something even more exciting: missionaries on our doorstep.
