Summary:This paper looks at some of the missiological implications of the history, presence and ministry of diaspora Christians in Singapore and Malaysia in the 19th and early 20th century.

It suggests that the global movement of people, ideas and faith is not new, but has ridden the waves of globalization for centuries if not millennia.
