520 |a This article discusses how prayer functions as a missional strategy for Pentecostal migrant churches in Norway today. Taking its starting point in fieldwork among a cross-section of migrant churches, the article draws in particular on examples from African-led churches and their understanding and practice of prayer. From this empirical perspective, the author argues that prayer represents an ecclesial nexus for missional spirituality, undergirding and spearheading missional strategies among these churches. Prayer thus provides a powerful locus for understanding core dimensions of these churches’ ecclesial identity and missional outlooks. By interacting with perspectives from discourse analysis, semiotics, and practice theory, it is shown that essential facets of prayer inexorably permeate these churches’ missional thinking and practices to a degree that these churches’ mission can hardly be understood apart from prayer. In conclusion, the article asks how this may challenge scholars and others in terms of understandings and practices of mission today.
