By this time, 22 Simpson Street, after renovation, was full to  overflowing and the Church had purchased another location in Ebute Meta  for a church building. Preparations were on hand to build a bigger church at  49 Moloney Street near the Apena Cemetery, Ebute Meta.  

^th On the 8 of November 1955, construction work started on the new  site. The topography of the land allowed for a basement to be dug  providing a basement hall half the size of the upper auditorium. 

Brother T and his team carried out a big crusade called “Africa for  Christ” in 1956 and whilst the campaigns were going on, the Gospel was rapidly expanding in Lagos. Brother T, the man of vision had the foresight  of the need for a campground in Africa headquarters, having attended the  Portland Camp meeting twice. Negotiations to purchase a three-acre land  at Onigbongbo began and it was later secured for a campground.
