His Story
Meet Abimbola Olawore
Abimbola is a pastor and theological student from Nigeria, currently studying online at Edinburgh Theological Seminary. Despite the vast distance, he has become a deeply respected presence within the ETS community — a man whose faith, character, and dedication have left a mark on many fellow students.
He works in Nigeria, a country that faces some of the most severe Christian persecution in the world. In this context, his theological education is not merely academic — it is the foundation for work that has profound, real-world consequences for the communities he serves.
The opportunity to spend time in Edinburgh — to sit alongside other students, to experience fellowship in person, to receive teaching face-to-face — would be genuinely transformative for him and, through him, for those he ministers to back home.
"I myself, along with each and every one of my friends at Edinburgh Theological Seminary can testify to the character and the impact this man has left on us — even from behind a screen as an online student."
