Melanie Cave and Dr. Harvey Kwiyani explore the long history of migration in the UK and how Christian mission and migration have always been intertwined, the historical backdrop of migration and its impact on Christianity.  They discuss the contrasting approaches to prayer in African and Western contexts, African ‘crossover’ or watch-night prayer traditions, and how different worldviews shape prayer and mission, and what the British church can learn from migrant Christians who bring vibrant, communal, charismatic faith practices. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of community, the need for humility in learning from diverse perspectives, and the call for unity in a multicultural kingdom. Harvey reflects on his journey from Malawi to Europe and North America, the rise of African Pentecostalism, and practical ways churches can humbly learn from diverse traditions to deepen prayer, welcome newcomers, and rediscover mission in a mobile world. keywords mission, migration, prayer, African culture, Christianity, spirituality, community, diversity, colonialism, independent churches   takeaways The tradition of crossover prayer reflects a deep cultural significance in African communities. Prayer practices in Africa are often characterized by urgency and communal participation. Western Christians may struggle with prayer due to a lack of awareness of the spiritual world. Migration has historically been intertwined with mission work, shaping the global church. African independent churches emerged as a response to colonialism and the need for culturally relevant expressions of faith. Diversity in the church enriches the understanding of God and spirituality. Engaging with different cultures can enhance prayer practices and community life. The spirit world is an integral part of African spirituality, influencing daily life and prayer. Christian nationalism contradicts the inclusive message of the gospel. The future of Christianity is being shaped by voices from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Sound Bites "Every human is made in the image of God." "We need to treat one another better."
