Sinopsis

The growth of Christianity in the global South and the fall of colonialism in the middle of the twentieth century caused a crisis in Christian mission, as many southern Christians spoke out about indignities they had suffered and many northern Christians retreated from the global South. American Christians soon began looking for a fresh start, a path forward that was neither isolationist nor domineering. Out of this dream the 'sister church' model of mission was born. Rather than western churches sending representatives into the 'mission field, ' they established congregation-to-congregation partnerships with churches in the global South.
