 COURSE INTRODUCTION

To do mission is an integral
part of Christianity’s self-
understanding. Christianity cannot
be understood apart from its
activity of doing mission. Hence,
from the very beginning, Christians
have been engaged in witnessing
for the faith and communicating
the message of the faith to many
nations and cultures.
 And as there was growth in
the understanding of the faith, so
there were changes in how the
Church conceived and did mission.
Furthermore, there were
development in the understanding
of mission necessitated by
changing times and situations. One
important change is the shift from
ecclesio-centric to theo-centric view
of mission.
