“As more churches grew up through the years and the work expanded, the need for the distribution of more copies of Yoruba tracts, Sunday school books, Light of Hope (Igbagbo Aposteli) and other Yoruba Christian literature became more apparent as the demand increased. Labour unrest and dock workers' strike all over the world were causing a lot of delay in the shipment of our literature from Portland. Atour of the Western, Kwara and Lagos States was to be undertaken and thousands of copies of Imole Ireti were to be distributed. We had to reprint 1,000 copies of Imole Ireti locally. We prepared the plates in our printing plant and gave the actual offset printing job to a commercial printer. The plan worked out well and we had enough paper in good time to distribute in the three states visited. From then on, we had a burden to have our own machine that could print the Yoruba magazine and other materials.
“The saints were told of the project and despite inflation and spiraling prices, the Lord gave the saints the will to work. The amount was made up and the machine, a Heidelberg Kord 64 offset machine 18 x 25 ¼ was purchased with the widows' mite in the year 1975. Our printing plant darkroom was built on the old Campground at Onigbongbo where a processing camera and a double-sided exposing unit had already been installed.”
