As Jesus did not allow those who came to listen to His Words go with empty stomach but said to His disciple, “Give ye them to eat”, Brother T, also like His Master, was always concerned to see the people well fed, both in quality and quantity.
He started the kitchen department of The Apostolic Faith by organizing the making of snacks at 49 Moloney Street, Ebute Meta, for the Sunday school teachers who came for the Teachers' Conference on Saturdays.
Knowing the importance of good food, he encouraged the youth to learn about cookery. He organized picnics where he made both male and female to practise cooking. He used to read a lot about cookery. He invited professional caterers to lecture the saints and encouraged those who were trained to teach others by making them to come and work in the kitchen.
Soon the provision of food to Sunday school teachers which started with snacks developed into serving real meals. Brother T used the opportunity to teach the congregation how to eat balanced diet. As soon as activities began on the campground, the kitchen became an important department. It continued to develop as the AVS residential retreats were introduced. In order to cater for the large number of retreaters, Brother T
equipped the kitchen with the latest modern kitchen equipment, very large quantities of plates, cups, cutlery, kettles, food warmers, trays, fridges and deep-freezers. He catered adequately for the spiritual and physical needs of his flock. What a good shepherd!
