REIFLER, Hans Ulrich  e  SAUER, Christof. The Relevance of Transnational Networking in the Global Ministry of Fredrik Franson. Missionalia (Online) [online]. 2020, vol.48, n.1, pp.58-80. ISSN 2312-878X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7832/48-1-347.

Fredrik Franson, a dual citizen of Sweden and the USA, was an international revival evangelist, mission founder and mobiliser of the Holiness Movement during the last quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Within 22 years, he strongly influenced the founding of thirteen faith missions, six church federations in Europe, North America and Armenia, and several independent churches in the USA, New Zealand and Australia. This article focuses on the relevance of transnational networking for the global ministry of Franson. Starting with a short overview on Franson's life and work, it specifically shows the influence of transnational political and economic developments, transnational trade routes and the importance of the transnational networks of the Evangelical Alliance, the Holiness Movement, the Sunday School Union, and the faith missions for the founding of new missionary societies and church federations by Franson.
