People who were far away were reached through correspondence. Copies of the Light of Hope, newsletters or any other Gospel materials that would lead people to God were mailed to several addresses on the mailing list.
The office had its small beginning at 22 Simpson Street, Ebute Meta, later to the home of Brother T at 53 Isaac John Street, Igbobi. It later moved back to 22 Simpson Street, Ebute Meta, after renovation and now to the campground at Anthony Village.
THE AFRICA OVERSEER IN HIS OFFICE
We send literature in different languages to different parts of Africa and beyond. Through the years, our mode of operations has been enhanced through technological advancement. The office work started in 1940s with letters written longhand. Later the Church secured a manual typewriter.
These were in use when electric typewriters were bought to supplement. Where there was the need to have multiple copies of any document, we typed on stencil and used a manually operated duplicating machine. The Church later acquired a photo-typesetter, which produced the camera
ready copies of materials used to print the Sunday school books in various African languages. Latest in the series were microcomputers which were faster.
At various times, the Church sent out some of the full-time office staff to the United States of America for computer training. With the increase in recent years of computer literacy in Nigeria, staff members are being trained locally.
The Church maintained three standby electric generating plants to supplement the public supply. This made the flow of electricity to the campground offices pretty steady. Hence, the various sections of the office—typesetting, editorial, accounts, architectural, dispatch and printing press—all work together as one happy family.
