      FAITH

      May the Almighty God be with us always, the God of all creations. May the Omnipotent God rein Omnipotently in our lives always. May He grant us His Grace and Blessings, the Wisdom and Courage, the Spirit and Ability in all Spheres of our lives, Amen. There was a roaring response of, Amen. Then after, the organist played the tune of the church choir’s recessional Hymn, Lead us, Heavenly Father lead us; Over the World’s tempestuous sea.

      Bishop Johnson, founder and leader of the Evangelical Church for All Nations made an emotional sermon at the church headquarters in Devon prior to his trip to the Island of Botumegyabu, in the midst of the Atlantic ocean. The island has no airstrip for commercial aeroplanes, neither a harbour for ocean shipping vessels. Inhabitants and visitors to this Island use paddling boats or speed boats in and out in their journeys. The only hotel on the Island, Bobour Hotel, which is mostly used by celebrities, has a modern transport—a helicopter shuttle service from the hotel compound linking the Island to some West African countries. The Hotelier has also provided an elementary school on the Island. All around the island, and outside residential settings, one could commonly admire the beauty of speeding crabs.

      Bishop Johnson chose to travel with the fishermen. On the influence and advice of the chairman of The Sea Trawlers International, Dr. Hunter, the trawler team no.10 reluctantly accepted to travel with the Bishop. Dr. Hunter has been a secret admirer of the Bishop for some time due to the Bishop’s bold and plain talking.

      The Bishop is known for his radical views and utterances about his Christian faith and he was nicknamed The ‘RC’—Radical Christian and CP—Controversial Priest. He has once said, ‘the so called physicians who carry out abortions when the foetus has started to form a human shape be known as murderers. Also those who carry the foetus to be murdered should also be held joint murderers’. This caused condemnations from across the globe by other human rights groups and some individuals, but the Bishop has no fears for criticisms on his utterances about his Christian faith. At another time, Bishop Johnson had said that many other people’s lifestyle is a judgement on God for the destruction of ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’. He referred to those people as ‘God persecutors’ and ‘God prosecutors’. At his own time, the Lord of harvest SHALL SURELY separate the grains from the chaff, he had said. He was not worried much even after he had several unanimous letters threatening his life.

      Prior to becoming a Priest, Johnson had enjoyed adventurous lifestyle and an entertaining stunt.

      The Bishop was very happy to make the journey with the fishermen, ‘The Sea Trawlers International’. The Trawler team no.10 crew were not happy to travel with the Bishop because of his utterances. They agreed to take him, but they would not perform any of their usual rituals which they do before they throw their nets into the sea. They fear the Bishop would use them to preach. The fishermen group are major suppliers to the fish market of shrimps and lobsters, sardines and herrings, mackerel, salmons, tuna and crabs.

      The Bishop was making the journey, responding to the call of a branch of the church on the Island, especially when the chief of the Island was involved in the invitation.

      Chief Pataa Kuobi was a new and the latest convert of the church. Christianity was not much known on the Island until Evangelical Church for all Nations set up a branch.

      Due to the recent attack on the church building, being set ablaze warranted the invitation. The chief had booked a room at Borbour Hotel for Bishop Johnson, but when the Bishop heard of it he made them to cancel it. One room at the chief’s palace would be good for me, he said.

      The chief’s palace compound was fenced with coconut branches and a mosquito net had to be provided for the Bishop’s visit.

      Before the Bishop’s journey started, Bobour Hotel had been booked to the full by the international media in advance for the whole of the period the Bishop was to stay on the Island. Other press men have been there even before the Bishop’s journey began.

      Along the journey to the Botumegyabu Island there were visible sign of abundant fishes, and the crew members were very worried that they could not throw down nets because of the presence of Bishop Johnson

      Some members were angry because they felt, they were losing great fishing opportunities and just wasting themselves. Alan Shaw, the Assistant Captain, tried to calm down the other crew members, ‘I’ll speak to Peter about this’.

      Peter McArthur, the Captain of the vessel had been worried about the situation, but he pretended to appear that nothing was wrong. He also said to the other crew members to calm down because the journey was ordered by the head office and any complain by the Bishop would be highly held by the Head Office.

      The anger of the other crew members grew to the extent that Alan Shaw, on the approval of Peter McArthur met with the Bishop to discuss the concerns on board the vessel. ‘There is a problem on board that I need to confidentially discuss with you. I have got the consent of Peter McArthur to discuss with you’, Alan said.

      You are free to discuss anything so dear to you, Bishop Johnson answered.

      "On our journey, we have spotted unusual sight of abundant fishes. We have
