Minutes after that first memorable encounter, we had gathered together again in the Missionary Home, and there Anthony Uzodimma Obinna gave us the details of his background. An assistant to the local headmaster, he was forty-eight years old and had been longing and praying for the missionaries ever since November 1965. "It has been a long, difficult wait," he said, "but that doesn't matter now. You have come at last." "A long wait, yes," Ted agreed, "and I guess it's hard for all of us to remember that man's time is not God's time, especially when we want something so desperately. . . but the gospel is really here now in all its fulness."
