This wise counsel sounded fair to Lillian and they both went to the Institute of Church and Society at Samonda Ibadan to pray and seek the face of the Lord for three days. At the end of the day, they both felt in their spirit that they should not close the school as it has something to do, as an integral part of the assignment that God was giving her to do. They felt the Lord impressing it on their hearts the school would play a pivotal role in the ministry and she should not think of closing it. Lillian felt grateful to God and also to her husband who did not just ask her to go and pray but also went with her to pray and prevail together before the Lord. To the glory of God this school was thirty seven years old this year. It was started 3rd of May 1988. She was called on the 20th of November 1994. The work started 20th June 1995.
Later, others like Deacon Dele & Mrs. Linda Oyenuga and Deaconess Bola Kolawole joined the team. They were a strong back bone that kept the work going. May the Lord reward them and every other member of this early team richly for their countless sacrifices and labour of love.
They gathered faithfully every Thursday for Bible Study. The Omisades later made a property available that they were using as the headquarters in Ibadan. Lillian would have prepared a Bible Study outline. They would all sit down like in a regular church.
They would pray, have the Bible study session together so what they would be teaching at their different Bible study centres on the field would be the same thing.
“What does it mean to be born again?”“What is the assurance of salvation?”“What is consecration?”“What is the baptism of the Holy Ghost?” Precept by precept, line upon line, these foundational teachings would have been done together as a team before each trip to the mission field. Having prepared these outlines together, it did not matter who got sent where to any of the Bible study centers. It was the same thing they were teaching the converts.
The Lord mightily increased the young church. The Lord said people would be coming from Ife town to worship in the church and indeed it was so. Many people registered for discipleship. Souls were being won to Christ and were being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus in the village river. The number kept growing and growing and it was so obvious. The Lord of Harvest was the one doing His work on earth not Lillian. He simply chose to use as many as would just obey the call.
Lillian is often tempted to say that season of first church planting with almost daily manifestation of the power and grace of God were the best years of her life except of course for the fact that she always says her best years are still ahead!!!
The disciples went everywhere and the Lord confirmed their words with signs and wonders following.
Lillian felt the literal manifestation of this scripture in Oke-Ogbo. The testimonies just kept flowing. Her zeal was unabated. She kept reading, learning all about missions and applying what she was reading practically on the field of soul winning in these villages. In her own words:

“I was unstoppable”
Sometimes on the way to Oke-Ogbo if they saw any village with any demonic or ungodly name, the spirit would stir her heart. She would ask the brethren to stop and they would branch and evangelize. So deep was the fire in her to win every soul everywhere to the Lord in these unreached villages even outside Oke-Ogbo. Little wonder that the fire has spread around the South West, Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world as we will yet see in this amazing encounter of God’s mighty moves to seek and to save the lost around the world.

MISSION TRAINING
The work was growing and God was adding to them. The full time members were called “missionaries” but the part time are called “associates”. Lillian’s passion for the work was not just about going out to win souls, she was also voraciously reading all available materials on Christian service. She stumbled on the word “missions” and saw in stark reality, that was what they had been doing without knowing it. Reaching the unreached. The more she read the more she saw the need for training of herself and other missionaries and associates.
A one month mission training was then organized for everyone. This to her was the best approach to the problem. The work on the field cannot stop while brethren and labourers go to the Mission School. Therefore the Lord laid it in her heart to put together this one month intensive mission training at the premises of Juniors International School, Oluyole Estate, Ibadan belonging to Yele and Lillian.
They were about twenty at this time. They were starting from 9am till 6pm Monday to Friday all through the one month. All the key fathers of missions were brought in as facilitators for the training. Rev I. D. Lawon, Rev Reuben Ezemadu, Rev Victor Amosun, Rev Greg Alabi, Rev Idowu Animasaun, Dr Tunde Oladoyinbo and several others within and outside

Ibadan. They became better equipped for the work and the ministry is eternally grateful to these mission leaders who gave their best to impact the Wells labourers and give them the needed tools and inspiration for the work.
After planting the church, their going then became Friday to Sunday. Lillian would return with the brethren on Sunday to Ibadan. On Friday they would have what they called Power Night. On Saturday they would go for evangelism, reaching all the villages with the good news. In the evening, they had Bible Study. On Sunday they would have Sunday Service and afterwards stay back for one on one counseling, prayers, meetings and all. By 2pm or latest 3pm they headed back to base at Ibadan. This went on for months until after the one month intensive training.

THE NEXT LEVELAFTER THE TRAINING
The training enabled the ministry and the Lord’s work to move to another level. They sent Pastor Cajetan Nweke and his wife Pastor Mrs. Elizabeth Nweke to the field in 1997 and to the glory of God they have remained as pastors of that church till today.

MANY SOULS UNREACHED, MANY LANDS UNCOVERED
The church has been successfully planted and a Resident missionary and his wife sent to pastor the church. To a normal person, this was a big success. No need to do weekly travels except for important programs, conventions and anniversaries. The set woman could conveniently return to her school work and family concerns. Not Lillian. She just could not wrap her head around the reality that Christ indeed died for the whole world and so many people remain unreached. Like Nehemiah when he was informed of the broken walls of Jerusalem, the more mission literature Lillian read, the more she prayed and read the Scriptures, the more inflamed and restless she got!!!
They had many “unplanned” mission expeditions. When they got anywhere in their travels and found orthodox churches whose fire had
died, they saw their mission there as rekindling the fire and bringing Christ’s life and presence back into such churches the same way she was living a comfortable life “serving God” even in a Pentecostal church, yet the fire of missions was not ablaze in her heart.

COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL CHURCHES IN MISSION EFFORTS
They have by now come to understand through missions training that where there were existing churches, you could work with if they are open to it. Once the only challenge is that the pastor was not born again but has a ready and willing heart for the truth of the gospel, they worked with them to bring the fire back. There was a village called Olopemeji somewhere around Asejire Ibadan where they found one of such orthodox churches. They laboured with them in soul winning. The Wells team would join the pastor and the few available members. They would divide themselves up in twos just the way they did at Oke-Ogbo. They went after the lost souls, led many to Christ and brought them into the church. Eventually Wells sent another missionary and his wife to serve full time with this church but under the payroll of the ministry!!!
