Why do American Christians travel overseas to reach people in
distant lands, but neglect ministering to people who immigrate from
those lands to their home communities? Why does Western missions
funding depend on narratives that marginalize indigenous
leadership? Why are diaspora Christians from the Global South not
seen as legitimate missionaries to the West? Western mission often
still centers the senders, without as much understanding of the
experiences of the receivers. Mekdes Haddis, an Ethiopian now
living in the United States, provides a postcolonial critique of
Western mission, upending the white savior complex and arguing for
a more globally just approach. A Just Mission examines evangelical
mission from the perspective of the receiver, highlighting areas of
weakness and naming injustices. Unveiling the negative impact of
Western mission on the global church, Haddis addresses how white
supremacy infiltrates and subverts mission organizations' good
intentions, disrupting grassroots missions and local leadership
development. Weaving together theology and Scripture with stories
from people of color and diaspora groups, A Just Mission offers
hope that the mission and message of Jesus can indeed become good
news for all.
