DR. SAM GEORGE
Director of Global Diaspora Institute at Wheaton College BGC
Dr. Sam George is the director of the Global Diaspora Institute at Wheaton College, Chicago. He also serves as a Catalyst of Diasporas for the Lausanne Movement. Sam was born in the Andaman Islands in India, and traces his roots to St. Thomas Christians of Kerala, India. He has lived, studied, and worked in several countries. Sam holds degrees in mechanical engineering, business management, theology, and missiology and completed his PhD in Liverpool, UK under the tutelage of Professor Andrew Walls.
Dr. George notes, “more people are on the move than any time in human history and are reshaping societies, economies, nations, and churches. If we continue to stay in our homogenous bubbles as the Body of Christ, we will miss out on what God wants to do in and through us today. Embracing diaspora communities are critical to a robust theology and practice of missions today.”
The Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College is a global hub of mission and evangelism which exists to equip leaders and lay Christians through networking, resourcing, and training to show and share the love of Jesus to a broken and hurting world.
Lausanne North America is committed to extending the influence and passion of Lausanne International by connecting influencers and ideas on mission and evangelism for Christ and His Kingdom.
