In this powerful global conversation, we sit down with Bishop Ande Emanuel, bishop of the United Methodist Church in Nigeria, Senegal, and Cameroon.

From persecution in Northern Nigeria to reconciliation after years of division, Bishop Emanuel shares how the church in Nigeria has not only survived but is thriving. With over 900 pastors, nearly 1,000 churches, and bold new evangelistic and agricultural initiatives, the United Methodist Church in Nigeria is stepping into a new season of unity, dignity, and self-sustainability.

We talk about:

• Religious extremism and Christian persecution

• The dramatic reunification of Nigeria’s United Methodist Church

• Property disputes, court victories, and community renewal

• Agricultural evangelism and economic sustainability

• What “regionalization” means for the global church

• How American churches can partner, not dictate, with African Methodists

This is more than a denominational update. It’s a story of resilience, leadership, and the Spirit moving in powerful ways across the globe.
