My previous area of research was the contextualization of the gospel among pastoral groups. Presently I am working on the topic, “Contextualization, Discipleship, and the Mission of the Church in Africa.” Though African churches are growing rapidly, the churches face challenges with regards to their theological ground and mission engagement due to lack of appropriate contextualization and discipleship. After serving more than three decades in Ethiopian evangelical churches, I am passionate about an integrated approach to mission through discipleship-focused contextual communication.
