We are patiently waiting for your coming over to
Ibesikpo. To take up the work which we are un-
able to do it to-day. To preach to us pure gospel
of Heaven. Take for granted that we are tired for
your wasting time to come, so therefore we praise
earnestly to send somebody to Ibesikpo as soon as.
our letter is on your hand. We wrote to you first

countries. Now we are ready to here from you,
your opinion in this matter. We are waiting for
your immediate arrival to do God’s work among us.
Nothing can distroy God’s work so far He liveth
with us. Now Ibesikpo are preparing to send their
children to Lutheran School. Ibesikpo people will
accept the gospel of Heaven. Ibesikpo people want
to have Lutheran Mission in Ibesikpo country.
