This article engages Christian doctrines to introduce and develop the concept of Motus Dei by arguing that God of the Bible is continually on the move and as one who beckons his followers to come alongside to see what God is doing in the world. Thus, the mission is about moving with God to see all things made new as we harmonize our wandering steps to be in sync with a moving God. The mission is following God, moving in, and catching up with God in many different cultural and geographical spaces all over the world, and to grow in our appreciation of God’s work in, through and around us as we move. The authors venture into the domains of theology (proper), anthropology, soteriology, pneumatology, and eschatology, as they attempt to construct a new theology and missiology for a world in motion. The work draws from the rich resources of the Christian faith to try to comprehend God and His work in a world of unprecedented human mobility and consequent societal and global transformations brought about by what is now considered an ‘age of migration’
