Dealing with Mission Drift in Parachurch Agencies
An Analysis of Holistic Mission of Christian Non-Governmental Organizations and Non-Profit Organizations
Israel K. Kombaté
Mission drift is a constant threat to any parachurch organization trying to remain “mission true” and “holistically relevant” in this post-Christian society. Defining it as a phenomenon in which Christian-based mission agencies stray from their God-given vision and identity towards socio-humanitarian objectives, this study considers this in light of Jesus’s own holistic mission, exemplified in Matthew 9:35–38 and Luke 4:18–19. This insightful investigation into seven Christian NGOs and NPOs seeks to reveal the underlying reasons and motivations for moving towards mission drift. Presenting an exegetical study of the ministry of Jesus, Dr. Kombaté offers a developed and nuanced understanding of the challenging forces that contribute to mission drift and puts forward tools to minimize its risk. A must-read for missionaries, pastors, and leaders in parachurch organizations endeavouring to retain a strong, biblically grounded commitment to following holistic mission.
