    Africa Church & Missions Science & Technology

    In response to an AI-Native ministry strategy, this opinion suggests that AI must remain as infrastructure underneath a mutual learning ecosystem, supporting a "ministry with" posture directed towards human flourishing, rather than as its focus or a driving force. The focus, which AI serves must remain people, relationships, communities, local knowledge, theological reflection, and human discernment.

    An AI-Native Ministry asks, “What is the necessary human element we can serve?” and AI comes along to implement that vision as part of the ministry's core infrastructure rather than a set of tools external to the organization. This is not without its risks but wise Christian leaders must be prepared for the shift that is already upon us.
