If you can't fit the church on the back of a camel, don't blame the camel!

Across the world’s deserts, mountains, and high plateaus live millions rarely seen or understood. Nomads are often dismissed as technologically backward, resistant to change, or impossible to reach. But the real obstacle may not be the desert. It may be us.

In overlooking nomads, the global church has neglected one of the last great strata of unreached peoples. Nomadic Peoples issues a clear and urgent call: The gospel is for nomads too, and the church must rethink its assumptions if it is to reach them.

Drawing on six decades of firsthand experience, biblical reflection, and careful missiological research, Malcolm Hunter challenges conventional mission models shaped by settled, urban priorities. He uncovers the rich social fabric of nomadic life—marked by resilience, hospitality, interdependence, and communal wisdom. He argues that culturally appropriate churches can flourish among people on the move. This is a practical guide for reaching those who have long been overlooked.
