Evangelism as Brokerage: A Biblical Study of 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:1 in a Chadian Context
By David Kimiti | This article explores how missionaries working in patronage societies, might be informed by 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:1 in taking on the role of a broker as a way of viewing their evangelism. The missionary broker avoids the potential compromises in the roles of patron and client and takes a temporary role as a relationship broker. Using patronage to understand honor, social currency, and brokerage David unpacks Paul’s writing, offering practical insights for missionaries in Chad and similar relational cultures.
