What does it take to build a seminary in a nation recovering from war, dictatorship, and spiritual oppression? Growing a Seminary in Ethiopia: A Triumph of Faith in an Uneasy Odyssey is the powerful missionary memoir of Carl E. Hansen, chronicling a remarkable thirty-year journey alongside the Meserete Kristos Church. At the church's invitation, Hansen and his wife leave their roles in Nairobi to help launch a Christian liberal arts college in Ethiopia. They arrive in a country reeling from Marxist misrule, extreme poverty, and cultural upheaval. With candor and conviction, Hansen recounts the seminary's evolution from a humble Bible institute in 1994 to a thriving theological education center serving thousands of students. Along the way are cross-cultural challenges, leadership struggles, shifting visions, and the quiet work of faith, prayer, and forgiveness. This is not only a Christian seminary story, but also a deeply human journey of growth, conflict, and perseverance. Set against the backdrop of Addis Ababa and Bishoftu, this memoir offers a rare inside view of global Anabaptism, cross-cultural ministry, and the development of theological education in Africa. For readers interested in missionary memoirs, faith-based leadership, and church history in Ethiopia, this book provides a compelling narrative of purpose and persistence. Join the journey. Witness a vision unfold. Discover how faith builds more than buildings-it builds a legacy.
