Diaspora Missiology has captured many researchers including mission strategists, local church practitioners and students of missiology. As a result, there is a growing body of literature for this field of study. For decades this literature has been in the domain of social sciences, history, and law. However there have been few researchers and few books published on rural and semi-rural migration in relation to missions and church growth. Today there are flourishing churches being planted among diaspora communities in those rural or semi-rural regions. Matt Cook's work has contributed to the Global Church in understanding "people on the move" who settled outside the mega cities.Diaspora Missiology has captured many researchers including mission strategists, local church practitioners and students of missiology.
