The WATS Journey: A Personal Narrative

A captivating and very readable account of the Christian missionary experiences of a family serving in Nigeria for more than thirty years and helping to birth what has become the largest nondenominational seminary in Africa, with 800 pastors in training from more than 100 denominations. The author starts with both the goods news and the bad news about the challenges of modern Nigeria, and carries the reader through the development of one of Africa’s most strategic theological schools, West Africa Theological Seminary. In the Introduction, Dr. Timothy Tennent, president of Asbury Theological Seminary, says, “In a beautiful blend of personal narrative, institutional member and divine providence, Gary Maxey unfolds for us the amazing story of WATS in Lagos, Nigeria. The Seminary has, in many ways, shared in both the turmoil and the triumphs of the nation itself, and Maxey has the courage to tell the story with honesty and transparency. . . . You will not regret engaging in this journey.”Read more
