My father died on July 3, 2005 and I am the eldest of the children, who totalled 11 (from three wives, two of whom are deceased); my mother is now aged 85 years and my father died aged 88 years. The onus of giving him a befitting burial fell on me. My father was an Anglican, but did not quarrel with me for being a Christadelphian, since in his opinion we all confess the Bible. Here we are heterogeneous – many languages but one nation. We sometimes misunderstand each other through misinterpreting the languages. In fact, some people do not fully understand the English language, which makes them shun the Christadelphians here because the mode of preaching is by the English language. So this is one of the disadvantages of striving to win some of these people. Another thing is poverty.

I still need Gospel News and other literature. About the Igbo translation of Bible Basics, I wish to have some copies of it. Igbo is our own language in Abia State. It will be of interest for the people to read about the gospel in their own familiar tongue. May God grant us strength, wisdom and knowledge to continue working in His field until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The book sent to me, The Judgement to Come, is a stirring soul-trigger, making one search the inner mind - very educative. My friends wanted to snatch the book from me, but I promised to write for some more. Please do not relent in sending any books for teaching others and myself. The days are numbered for us to welcome Jesus in Jerusalem for his promised breaking of bread with us (Matt. 26:26-29; Luke 22:18).

May our Lord continue to bless you and your efforts to preach the word.

I was hoping it would have been possible for me to come to see you when I was visiting the UK; I came to Croydon twice, but my host did not make it possible for us to meet. We had a fraternal gathering in Eastern Nigeria and I was asked to present the opening address.

I thank you very much for Gospel News which you have sent to me over the past years and hope I will continue enjoying the same in the years ahead, if Jesus remains away. I received the 2006 Bible Reader’s Calendar. I pray that God will bless you and enable you to continue His work so that the believers may be well equipped in the knowledge of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ. I have heard about an Igbo language Bible Basics. May I know if there is a Yoruba translation? I would like you to send me one and I would also request the book Elpis Israel for my further studies.
