“Jesus believed in wholistic ministry. He taught, he preached, he healed, he fed multitudes, and he challenged the status quo. He delivered captives in distress. He cured human need . . . So, this event is a symbolic act which proclaims the Lord's jubilee to a continent so very deeply in need of what God can do.»

West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS) is Nigeria's largest nondenominational seminary, and is
located in the heart of Lagos — the largest black city in the world. Nigeria, with 160 million people, is
the geographic hub of Africa. It embraces 40 percent the English-speaking Christian population of the African continent.
WATS serves one of the fastest-growing segments of the Christian Church in the world, and it focuses squarely on the
two greatest needs of the African Church: leadership development and discipleship of believers. We offer a Diploma in
Theology, two BA programs, four Masters programs and starting in 2007 the Doctor of Ministry program. And, as our
mission statement notes, we have a very focused purpose: «To train men and women for holy living, for carrying the
Gospel to the unreached, and for catalyzing national spiritual awakening.»
