MAY,
1978
Driving cross-country
towards
Onitsha as we did in March we witnessed the
farm products that flov/ from the breadbasket of Nigeria, the Cross River State,
Indeed, crops grow well and some of the largest
root
plants we have
ever

Traffic
slowed
to
a stop
as roadwork was being done a t
an
intersect ion near Onitsha,
As we
sa t
there
in
our
car
we had
to
turn
off
the
air-conditioner
and open
our
windows
to the sounds of the hawkers and smell of exhaust. Traffic on the
opposite
side of the road moved past. Inscriptions on lorries
(trucks)
and passanger
vehicles read, Golden Rule, Blessed i-Iansion, The Lord is
My
Shepherd,
Business Express, Dubonnet, and Owerri-Lagos, to mention a few. Along
the roadside
mechanics pounded and
welded
on broken motor
parts.
Motor
Parking
lots
filled up,
tea
and bread
were
sold
at
small
tables, hawkers
hurried
up
and
down stopping ,ai .eeeh car-selllhg; large loaves of bread and Amstel .Malta (a new
vitamin enriched drink
which
the
government
has just recently banned).
One
malt
salesman
sitting
on
his box
had
his handkerchief
tied on
his
head
to pro
tect him from
the
sun and the dirt . His bottle opener dangled from
the
hankie.
Children
hawked
toy pistols, cigarettes, sox, hankies,
chewing
sticks, kola
nuts, and perhaps i f one wanted any other thing they
would
go off and find i t
for
you.
There
was
plenty of
shopping
time as
we
sat in the
non-moving
traffic.
Road signs
amidst block companies and bui ld ing construct ion
advertised

(Don gave me a coupon
for
this on
my birthday
--

and
The Architect -
First Choice Paint - Nigerluxl After an hour we finally cleared the intersect
tion. A large
modern
building off to the
left
in
newly
painted blue and gold
yielded a Premier Brewerie Plant sign . Hand-push
carts
ruled the road as we
crept
along. One
cart loaded with
yams was being pushed by
three men
and
pulled
by
one man.
Some
were
loaded with building blocks and construction materials.
People darted in and
out,
bicycles careered back
and
forth, motorbike sirens
screamed and
hurtled past.
In two and a
half
hours of heavy
traffic
we travell
ed the 66 miles to Enugu where
we
spent the n ight.
The
ri-xt
morning
we
proceeded
e^st
on 35
mph
road.
Occasional
good
stretches
were
interspersed with chuck holes, pot holes, and
no
road at
all.
We .
stopped for pet ro l in Abakaliki. Here we turned south towards the Cross River.
The
landscape
is flat
and
rocky
with occasional
clumps
of huge trees
off
in the
distance.
We
searched for a tree to
shade
us from the
noonday sun
where we
could eat our
lunch,aHd.,
finally.-found one;.that we could .gain-access to from the
road.
It; was on a section of old road no longer in use. Flies and
buzzing
insects joined us. Another hour brought us to the ferry.
We
waited a few
minutes
to board
and after
the five minute,
1,50
crossing
we
landed . at Ekori
Beach. A
new laterite
road took us
right
Into Ekori.
We
went first to the
new Bible School and church builc'ing
that is
being constructed to see
how far
along i t was. Then to the house that Capt, and Mrs. Eni gave the mission for

conference of
th e church-
es that began
in
the
evening.
In
the
afternoon we read, studied, cooked wash

some
of thh ^villagers- came.to greet ua. At diiak we drove to the
AJere church
fo r
our
f irst service.
Lanterns were brought as the soft evening
glow disappeared over the
river
and the blackness and mosquitoes surrounded us .
For
half an
hour the men harmonized hymns in the Efic
language
- -
very lovely .
Don preached on The Riches of God.
On
Sunday morning we
sang
for half
an
hour
as people kept
arriving
from
Ekori, ISkpani and Assiga on foot,
bicycles
and local transportation. Then we
a l l
formed two
l ines
and began singing to the inspired leading
of
Elder Shadrach
and
made our
way through th e center of the
village
to the i cbeach.
Evangelist
John
Egbe entered the
water in the
rocky shoreline and the three
candidates
pre
pared
for baptism. The
singing continued as
three new
souls
confessed
Jesus as
thei r
Saviour
and
were baptized for
th e forgiveness of their
sins. The
heat
and
humidity increased perceptibly dur ing our
walk
back to the
church,
and now as
we began to worship, the wind began to blow and the sky grew dark.. Soon th e
rain
bat tered down
on
the roof
to
th e
sa t i s f ac t ion
of a l l the
farmers
who
had
spent long hours the
preceding
day
planting.
We were cooled by the rain and
refreshed by the Gospel message that John brought to us. We then
gathered a-
round
the
Lord's
Table

(2)

reoccurance of
a similar problem
of
a few

We re turned to Columbus, Ohio
where Mari anne
underwent some t e s t s and ob

However i t was not necessary fo r Marianne to be
hospitalized.
In addition to
seeing
about Marianne which was of upmost importance we were also eagerly awaiting the
arr ival
of
a second
grandchild
which was due to
arr ive
towards the end
of
October,
Lit t le Kendra Ruth Campion arrived on
Saturday,
November 4th and weighed 9
lbs,

a l l
very
happy
over their new

of
joy and grandpa and grandma and

happy
too.
Grandma and

and
to
become a

better
acquainted
with
Kristan
during
the
6 week

the new baby, Don's mother has also been
experienc

and underwent
surgery
on
her
hip
to
replace
a
socket.
She
is
progressing
nicely
and
th e surgery
went
well.
Don was
able to
be

this
time.
