Edem is a bi vocational Christian leader of a small church somewhere in the peri-urban Accra, who combines a passion for two Ts – theology and technology. His unique life of being on the outskirts of established Christianity for more than a decade, coupled with deconstruction and ongoing reconstruction of his faith has given him a keen insight into the problem which is folk Christianity (sometimes referred to as “Christendom”) and how that actually obscures Jesus. Edem spends one half of his life writing enterprise software or mobile apps for the international market and the other half either reading one of his favorite theologians or engaging with his church community on the challenges of being faithful while meeting real-life socio-economic needs in a city with no shortage of churches yet with a dearth of Jesus-centeredness. Edem is the President of SimplyChrist Ministries.

Michael is the Vice President of Simply Christ
