**Christopher R. Mwashinga Jr** (born 9 January 1965) is a Tanzanian author and poet from [Mbeya](/source/Mbeya), Tanzania who lives in the [United States](/source/United_States). He has published books of [Christian poetry](/source/Christian_poetry), theology, mission, and religious history. His poetry has been published in reputable anthologies in the United States,[1] and other countries including Kenya,[2] Singapore,[3] and Tanzania.[4] He writes in English and [Kiswahili](/source/Kiswahili).

## Early life

Christopher Richard Mwashinga was born to Richard Male Mwashinga and Christine Mwashinga in the [Igawilo](/source/Igawilo) ward of Mbeya, Tanzania. He spent his first 20 years in West Kilimanjaro[5] about 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from his home village in the southern highlands of Tanzania.[6][7] He is the third of the eleven children born to his parents.

## Education

Mwashinga attended Ngare-Nairobi Primary School in West Kilimanjaro before he moved south to attend Igawilo Secondary School in Mbeya (O-Levels), and Songea Boys High School in [Songea](/source/Songea) (A-Levels)–all in Tanzania.[8][*[independent source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources)*] He was trained in Theology at the Tanzania Adventist College (now the [University of Arusha](/source/University_of_Arusha)) in Tanzania and the [University of Eastern Africa, Baraton](/source/University_of_Eastern_Africa%2C_Baraton) in Kenya where he earned a B.A. degree in theology.[9] He then moved for graduate studies to the [Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary](/source/Seventh-day_Adventist_Theological_Seminary) on the campus of [Andrews University](/source/Andrews_University),[10] located at Berrien Springs, [Michigan](/source/Michigan), US. At the seminary, Mwashinga earned two master's degrees: a [Master of Divinity](/source/Master_of_Divinity) and a Master of Arts in religion ([Systematic Theology](/source/Systematic_Theology)).[11] He earned his PhD in [Systematic Theology](/source/Systematic_Theology) in the same institution.[12]

## Personal life

Dr. Mwashinga is married to Ruth Michael Mwashinga. Together they have three children: Christopher Richard Mwashinga II, Anna Nakijwa Mwashinga, and Richard Aaron Mwashinga.[13][14] Mwashinga enjoys traveling to new cultures as he preaches and writes his Christian poetry and non-fiction.[15][16]

## Youth and student ministry

For many years, Mwashinga, an ordained minister of the [Seventh-day Adventist Church](/source/Seventh-day_Adventist_Church), served the youth and public university students in East Africa.[17][18] Before going to the US for further studies he worked as a chaplain in charge of Public Campus Ministries in the South-West Tanzania Field (now Southern Highlands Conference) headquartered in Mbeya. He also served as director of several church departments in the Eastern Tanzania Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, including: Public Campus Ministries,[19] Youth, Education, Children's Ministries, Public Affairs and Religious Liberty, and as coordinator of the Satellite Evangelism Program for the same conference.[20][21] During his tenure, Mwashinga started a program he called Campus Evangelistic Campaigns (CEC) which was responsible for organizing and running evangelistic campaigns in major public universities in Tanzania. Between 2000 and 2004 he personally conducted big evangelistic campaigns in Sokoine University of Agriculture, University of Dar es Salaam,[22] and Mzumbe University,[23] utilizing major university auditoriums such as Nkrumah Hall ([University of Dar es Salaam](/source/University_of_Dar_es_Salaam)), New Assembly Hall ([Mzumbe University](/source/Mzumbe_University)) and Multi-purpose Hall ([Sokoine University of Agriculture](/source/Sokoine_University_of_Agriculture)), among others.[24][25] He also spoke to university communities in a number of Kenyan universities including the [University of Nairobi](/source/University_of_Nairobi), [Moi University](/source/Moi_University), and the [University of Eastern Africa, Baraton](/source/University_of_Eastern_Africa%2C_Baraton).[26][27] His was a familiar voice in many of these centers of learning. He also spoke internationally, visiting universities around the world.[28][29][*[independent source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources)*] For the past twenty years, Mwashinga has traveled widely, representing the [Seventh-day Adventist Church](/source/Seventh-day_Adventist_Church) in international conferences and preaching assignments. Between 2000 and 2021 alone, he crossed the Atlantic 18 times. His ministry and study tours took him to Brazil, Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Rwanda, Uganda, Thailand, Kenya, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tanzania, Israel, the Czech Republic, and Zambia among others. During those international trips, he presented on a variety of subjects and wrote hundreds of letters and emails. He also wrote hundreds of poems both English and Kiswahili, and always kept a diary.[30] [*[independent source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources)*]

## Non-fiction and Christian poetry

Mwashinga began to write and recite poetry at a fairly young age. He was about 13 when his first piece was published in *Kilimanjaro Leo* a weekly Kiswahili Newspaper in his native country of Tanzania. Since then he has published six collections of English poems, including: *Beeches of Golden Sand: Inspirational Poems* (2009)[31] *Windows of Love* (2012), and *Ocean of Grace* (2016).[32] [*[independent source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources)*], *Collected Poems: 1991-2021,* He has also published eleven collections of Kiswahili poetry including *Sauti Toka Ughaibuni* (Voice From the Diaspora),[33] [*[independent source needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources)*],*Kilele Cha Tumaini* (Summit of Hope), and *Tumaini Lenye Baraka: Diwani ya Christopher Mwashinga* (The Blessed Hope), *Njia ya Matumaini,* *Mwenge wa Matumaini*. Furthermore, he has published more than twenty other books both scholarly and popular, mostly in the area of theology, mission, and history of Christianity.[34][35] The most notable works in the area of non-fiction are perhaps his books on *Mission Theology and a History of Christian Missions in East Africa*, *Uadventista Barani Afrika: Changamoto na Fursa za Ukuaji* (Adventism in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities for Growth), and *The Works of Christopher Mwashinga* in multiple volumes.[36][37]
