Tony Weedor has crossed many borders. As a native Liberian and former Muslim, he brings a unique perspective to questions about cultural conflict. He managed to finish college, but he barely escaped a horrific civil war with his wife and their fourteen-month-old daughter. After five years in a refugee camp, they were rescued and brought to America where Tony graduated from Denver Seminary (USA). Tony holds an M.Div./PR-Philosophy and has taught Islamic history both at Denver Seminary and around the world.

He lectured about Islam following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has spoken before Congress in his native Liberia. Today, Tony’s Bible radio commentaries on radio ELWA are heard throughout a large portion of West Africa. After years as Regional Director for Africa for the humanitarian organization Advancing Native Missions, Tony now serves as Missions Associate for Muslim Outreach at Southeast Christian Church, in Louisville, KY. He and his wife, Elizabeth Fahn-Weedor, also provide educational and material support to Liberia/Liberians through their www.centerpoint-International.org, a ministry that has brought needed relief supplies to the country and has built and is now operating Petals of Hope, a school system that is helping to reshape the worldview of war-torn Liberia and a safe house for girls near Monrovia.
