S

ince the time of Jesus Christ, C the missionary spirit has been active among the C Christian faithful. Jesus’ exhortation to his disciples was crystal clear: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you” (Mt 28: 18b–20a). Church historian St Stephen Neill gives three prominent reasons for the initial Christian Ch evangelization process. First, since Jesus did not retur return as soon as anticipated there was a need to spread his teach teaching to the then-known world. Secondly, unlike Judaism, whi which saw the movement of faith from the periphery to Jerusale Jerusalem, Christians saw the need to move from the center to the periphery. pe Lastly, the destruction of Jerusalem and subsequent Diaspora D of 70 CE sent disciples of the “New Way” to all regions to preach (Acts 8:4).1 9
