Description: "The United Methodist Church in Nigeria has a remarkable history. The church has grown from 59,000 members in 1985 to 295,000 today. A team of scholars from the Nigeria church as searched through the "station log books" left by early missionaries to record the rocky beginnings of this now thriving church. This book was first written in Hausa and is now translated into so persons from English-speaking nations can learn from these remarkable records.

Photos of early missionaries and other church leaders are included in this volume. The book also includes brief histories of The United Methodist Church and Nigeria."--BOOK JACKET.
