Abstract
This article investigates how the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation (hereafter the Declaration), residential photography and social media intersected during Edgar Lungu's political campaign in the general election of 2016. It is framed within a missiopolitical theory to analyse qualitative material collected from January 2016 to February 2017 in Zambia. The missio-ethnography approach as an empirical missiological research which sought to analyse how the Declaration discourse has developed into a political ideology used to legitimized Lungu's political power and moral authority among some Pentecostal-Charismatic religious sector.-
