LESSON MATERIAL
WEST AFRICAN CHRISTIAN
MISSION
Donald
andMarianne Baughman
are
the on ly
personnel.
There
are four phases
to
our
work:
the establishing
of churches,
the t raining of
national ministers,
the
Search
the
Scriptures
radio
braodcast, and th e
medical
program.
Since
1965
te n congregations have been
started
and ten evangelists have been trained
to s e r v e
t h em .
P RE SENT ING THE PRINCE
OF
PEACE
by
Lawrence
Ebak,
native
evangelist
In the
church
where
I
preach we had
a
family
that
was always having trouble. The
man
w as
a Chr i s t i an
b ut th e wife was no t . A t
one t ime I
was
called in to settle a dispute
between
them.
As
I got to
this home,
I
asked
what
the
trouble was. The man told me, My
wife
is
always
giving
trouble in the home.
She fights
me
every
time I
return from th e
worship
service
on Sundays.
The
reason is
th at s he is not a Chr is t ian and does not know
the love
of
Christ
that brings peace to a home.
I
wish
she
could
be
taught this
love and have
he r l i fe renewed in the blood of
Chri s t .
To
have
peace
in
the
family I have offered
her
everything
I
have, but
all in
vain.
The only
thing
left
is
to
try
Christ.
I
th ink once
she
knows Christ
and
is baptized, we shall have
l e s s
o r
no mo r e t rouble .
My husband does wha t
I
don 't l ike
I
love th i s
ma n b ef or e I
mar r i ed him. I f
I
d idn t I wouldn' t have mar r i ed h im .
What
causes the t rouble
is that
he goes
to
work
every
day of
th e
week and
on Sundays
he
leaves me
alone
in the
house,
too-. He is sup
posed
to
remain
at home
with me,
but
on Sun
days
he goes out telling
me
that
he goes to
church. I don't
see any
good reason of h is
going to
church
when he
brings
nothing home
for the family,
said
the wife.
Have
you ever
been to
a
church building
for worship service? I asked.
No,
what
for? I don't see why I
should.
If I had time I would
like
to
spend i t
a t
home
and try
t o keep
my home in
good
order , she
s a id .
Yes, keeping a home in
good
order
is
not
bad.
If
a
home is good looking but l acks peace ,
what
good is
there ? Do
you
know
you have
two
homes? You
are
dwelling in one
and
that is
this
on e you built.
The other one is
your
heart ,
your
mind
There is someone who will like
to dwe l l
in i t .
Th is
m an
i s the Man t ha t
can
can bring peace in
your home.
He
is Jesus,
th e Pr ince o f Peace Wi thout H im t h e r e will
be
no
peace in
your
li fe and your
home.
Have
you prepared
a
p lace o f Him yet?
Do
you
know how to? The chu rch can
help
you pre
pare a home
for
Christ , I told her .
You s e e .
wife
o the r husbands
and
wives go to church services together. They
both hear
what is taught. When
they go
home
they
go with new
teachings
and
i deas tha t
will
help
them run
their
home well and
live
a
happy
life.
You
do
not
go to
church
with
me
That
is
why
when I
come
home I
find
you
doing things that
are contrary
to what
I
Learned in
church;
said the husband. Then
I
t ol d t hem
Surely
if both of
you
will be
present in
the church every
Lord's
Day to l isten
to
the
teachings of Christ,
that
wil l pave your way
to a peaceful
life. Not wha t
man
has
offered,
or your
husband remaining
at home
will
bring peace
to a
home.
It is th e
quest ion of
knowing what
brings
peace,
That is
knowing
Christ
and
His teach ings
Please,
Madam,
th e
Lord
has
asked me
t o inv it e you
to
th e
next
worship
service on
Sunday morning.
He has a
personal message for
you. Will
you
come
with
your husband?
I
asked.
Well, I
think
I
will try when
the
day
comes ,
she answered.
On
the
Lord's
Day she was
present
in the
worship
service.
After
service she met
o the r s who were in teres ted in h e r and asked
her to come again
I
could see her having
a
n ice t ime talking
to
them. As
they
journeyed
homeward
I could see
her waving
good-bye
to
h e r
new
f r i end s
with
a
smi l e .
I made s eve ra l v is it s
to
this
home pre
senting the only way
to
peace.
Christ
was
preached unto
this
lady Aft er some weeks
of
teaching
this lady accepted
Chri st a s her
personal
Saviour
and
was baptized. What a
change
of l if e that
followed A
home of
sad
ne s s
and
s o r r ows b e c ame a
home
where in
dwelleth righteousness and peace. They both
knew what
their
duty was. The
duty to
know
and
fear
God, the duty
to
believe
in His Son
and
l ive in H is
love .

GOALS
The Ekuri congregat ion in the Eastern
Region
of Nigeria has gathered
rocks for
the
construction
of the Materni ty
Home
buildings.
There
is a perpetually overcrowded hospital
a t Obubra,
38 miles
from Ekuri .
Not
many
of
the sick of Ekuri ever
get
there. This is
due to the fact that
mos t
o f th em do
no t
have
money for
transportation
and many of them
a re
s t i l l conv inced
o f th e a b il it ie s o f
t h e i r
own n a t ive
doc t o r s .
In
the
o the r d ir ect ion from Ekuri ,
ac ross
the
riv e a t
Itigidi, is a Presbyterian hospital
which
has been
opened
for a
few
years. It
is
always
full;
and, aga in ,
many of the mothers
o f Ekur i
wi l l neve r
make
i t
t h e r e .
One
mus t
walk 10
miles
a nd t he n cross
the
r iver
per
haps carrying
another
baby
on
the back
and a
load
on
the head. This maternity
home
would
not
only
serve Ekuri, which is
the
second
largest town
in Obubra
Division,
but
would
serve many other villages lying adjacent to
it. I t would be
difficult for
me to tell
you
what i t would
mean
to
the people
of
this
area.
A s soon
a s we
r e ce iv e a s su r an c e f rom
a
doctor or
a qualified
nurse tha t they wil l
assume this responsibi li ty, we
will
make an
appeal for
funds
for building construction
and operation costs .
NEEDS
We are
in n eed
of a battery
operated
transistor
tape
recorder. Approximately 98
6000 is
needed to
purchase l and in
Ebute
Mett a and 6000 is needed to purchase land
in
Bariga.
Sunday school literature,
particularly
children's
papers
with
pictures
to see and
a r t i c l e s to
co lo r .
Our
most
important need
is m ore
mis
sionaries to
help
us evangelize Africa's
most heavily
populated country.
Our second tour of four years ends Jan.
1966. At
the present time there
is no one
to replace us. There
is housing available
fo r
two
fami l i e s and t he re m u s t b e som eo ne
to
maintain the mission property and
provide
supervision to
the
evangelists. If you are

How much is a four year foundation of

Course worth? How
much
is a

of

worth?
How much is a

conscience
before
God worth?
These
ar e some of th e questions we ha d
to answer in or der to
make
th e following
announcement: The
LeMay's will be stay
ing in Nigeria during 1966, relieving the
Don Baughman family during their fu r
lough. The LeMays expect to
return
to
th e
U.S.A.
in December , 1966.
Seek ing God 's will in a decision ha s
never been an easy task,
but
closed and
open door s have
a
way
of
speaking.
The
needs of Sou th A f ri ca had
m a d e
us fee l a
few
months
ago that we
should
stay
here.
Bu t the
greater
needs of
Nigeria,
coupled
with th e realization that our f in anc ia l s up
port was
not suf fic ient for an effective work
here, left us with two choices: (1) Return
now
to
th e
states to
prepare
fo r
t h e f utur e,
or (2 ) A ct
on
faith that God will supply th e
financial
needs
fo r a year in
Nigeria,
an d
accep t t he call
to go
there.
We would b e u ntru e to God's c all ing to
b yp as s o ur B ro th er
in
Nigeria
in
hi s
pres
ent need,
to seek only
our ovm needs.
Therefore we are commi tt ing ourse lves and
all
o u r r e so u rc e s to t hi s c ou rs e
We
real ize
fully that
ou r resources
are
insufficient and
so we ar e trusting God to fill up
that
which
we
lack
in His own w ay an d through His
people.
To pray for all our
passage
now would
b e a bo ut 500.00 chea per tha n taking it a s
two
separate
trips (one to Nigeria and
then
on to the States
in December , 1966);

would also be
cheaper because of Eric's

and

to b uy tic kets fo r th e

Donna will
as

this
program through her
singing
talent.
Sh e will also supervise th e clerical
work of the correspondence
course.
It
will no t
only be helpful for the
LeMays
to r ep la ce me, but it vill be
necessary
as
I have no o the r r ep l acemen t. As fa r back
as 1955,
Roy
Goldsbe rry and I planned
against just a situation;
that
is, someone
needing
to go on le av e a nd h av in g no
on e
to replace him. We did this by planning to
do our foreign evangelism
in
th e same
place
(Nigeria), so that we
could
replace
each o th er . But s ometime
ago,
because of
hi s health, Bro.
Goldsberry
was
fo rc ed to
leave
Nigeria
permanently.
I t
was he
who
contacted th e
LeMays to give their
serv
ices
here.
If
t hey had
not volunteered,
the
chui'ches here would
have
undergone a
period of pronounced duress. As it is, their
presence here will be a
strengthening and
a
renewal
fo r
the ch urc h lea ders and m em
berships.
This is
a mission
of
mercy. We in Ni
geria have no right to demand something
of th e LeMays.
They
have
seen
our
need
an d
have
mad e th eir decision
to help us .
It
was n ot
an easy decision
in t he mak ing,
and
i t

Poland,
very
close to

three families were regular listen

broadca st s. A ft er t hey wro te
to us we
asked
a
Polish
preacher to
visit
them
and to
preach
to
them
in
person,
which was done. Those fam ilies w ere
visited by our native preacher and
re
sponded to th e Gospel
invitation.
I n or der
to baptize them,
permission
from th e
police
department
must b e o btain ed
and
it
was
done, bu t
when
people of
th e village
found
out about this they
came
together
with a priest an d did bod ily
harm
to one
of those fami lies . In t hi s way t hey s en t t hem

in

to that they

Day a lmos t he re? T ha nk
you for r eminding us

many Bibles to our

worth
it in order to ge t God s
