Gap and Eul

?Patronage governs most relationships in Global South cultures. However, regrettably, missionaries rarely recognise this prominent cultural reality.

This book shows that when a patron plays a role as a father, he plays a significant role in developing national pastors as church planters and offers an alternative reading of aid dependency as a relational concept rather than an economic one.
