Abstract
The thesis project is a case study of the Redeemed Christian Church of God that has more than 600 parishes in the United States and mission work in over 130 countries of the world. The study will involve the local mission Board members; trainers in the mission school, missionaries on the mission field in more than 400 parishes, and a sample of two mission churches. It will explore the global reverse mission enterprise and the gap in the training of missionaries from Africa in reaching the nationals of the mission field. This project will be action based and inter-disciplinary. It will be conducted through literature review, historical records, and multi-data collection methods comprising of structured questionnaires to be administered to 200 missionaries. The goal is to produce a manual for training of missionaries.
