Our guest for this episode is Nigerian missionary theologian Uchenna Anyanwu. His story is one of God being faithful as he followed the Spirit’s leading – a journey that took him to graduate studies in the US, and to the writing of his book arguing for a cross-centered approach to peace building.

We hear about Uchenna’s call from West Africa to North Africa, and then of the change that led to seminary studies in the States, and of his development of a theology of the cross as the basis for peacemaking amidst the Islamist violence in Nigeria. He challenges the global church to follow the example of Jesus’ response to suffering, evil, and violence as a model for Christians today.

Uchenna shares how God has provided for himself and his family as he continues to die daily to himself, live by faith, and choose the way of the kingdom of heaven.

Uchenna’s enthusiasm and joy in trusting God are an inspiration for us as we seek to reach the unreached.
