Prayer Group Formed 

As Brother T continued to grow spiritually, the Lord led him on.  He said: “In 1944 I felt led of the Holy Spirit to organize a prayer group.  Some people met with me to pray. We would lay our requests before God  and pray about them. Later on, we added Bible Study—mainly reading of  tracts—to the prayer programme.” People got interested as the news of the  special meetings spread. People flocked in to join them. Later, two  evangelists of the CAC from other groups came to join them and the  attendance grew. 

Meanwhile there were those who felt they were departing from the  established traditions and doctrines of the CAC. Reports started to go to  the authorities on their activities. One Ben Abbey who was a heavy  smoker got saved and stopped smoking completely. The other two  evangelists—D.T. Robinson and Lucas Obakoya—felt they needed more  of the teachings and so the four decided to meet in Lucas Obakoya's house  in Mushin.
