520 |a What is the mission of the African church in the 21st century? How can the African church carry out this mission work? Is it possible for the poor and marginalized African societies to do mission to the rich and economically powerful nations of the North?

In this case, the book of Jonah is an analogy of the way God’s mandate to do mission to great powers of this world, which has received great resistances from the African marginalized peoples.
