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.
