“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published  it” (Psalm 68:11). 

Brother T, the man of vision, saw the need to establish a printing  press as the work grew. Arecord reads: “Right from the early times, we saw  the need to get the sound doctrine of the Word of God to our people in their  own language for faith comes by hearing. We already had Sunday school  books which were written in English but in order to reach the bulk of the  people among whom we work, we saw the need to publish the lesson in our  own language. We started with an old Letter Press which was used to print  the senior Sunday school lessons and later the junior lessons. Other items  are: a Guillotine which was operated manually. Types were composed by  hand. 'Speed – O – Print,' a second-hand duplicator was given to us by  Portland headquarters when the Africa Overseer, Rev. T.G. Oshokoya went  there in 1951. Sunday school lesson outlines for adults, small slips of paper  containing the caption for each Sunday school lesson, Bible text and  memory verses and leaflets for primary lessons for children were rolled out  on the duplicator. In 1952, a 'Banda Spirit Duplicator' was bought locally  and this was used to roll out children's lessons in two or three colours. This  was used up to 1961.

IN THE PRINTING PRESS

“In 1965, we bought an Ellams Duplicator with interchangeable  ink drums – using a drum each for a change of ink. In this same year, one  Gestilith offset printing machine was purchased so that the elementary  lessons could be produced with better quality and with greater speed  because the lessons were used in Kwara State and many schools in the  northern part of Nigeria.”
