In this issue of IRM that focuses on “God of Life, lead us to justice and peace” I wish to reflect on how women in Africa have joined God of Life in saying “No” to senseless death as a way of life due to, among other things, endemic violence, insecurity, poverty, diseases, trauma, and leadership crisis. By focusing on narratives that depict African women's engagement in God's mission, I attempt to demonstrate their courage to act and to speak truth to power. Put differently, these women have heeded life-giving messages of justice and peace in the scriptures that lead them daily to reimagining resurrection here and now against unspeakable corruption, arrogance, and total disregard for God's immeasurable gifts of love, forgiveness, kindness, unity, and fullness of life. These are ordinary women who act with extraordinary courage because they are tired of lies about themselves and about Africa. They have identified deeply entrenched injustices about women and about Africa that have condemned them to a life of endless struggle and misery. These women want more than justice and peace: They want life after birth in its abundance!
