"So where are your family"
Nnomma asked pastor Jesse as they strolled down the community,he had insisted she took him round the community before they headed back to the old church building for clean up.

"Oh!they are based in Lagos city,thet reminds me I need to call them"

"Are they also pastors like you"

"Yes my father is by Gods grace the founder of a very big church in Lagos with other branches around Africa"

"Wow! Most times I wonder what brought you to a land as cursed as Umumiri" Nnomma blurted out
"Even the abandoned church building how will we build or convince people there is a true God"

"Hmm..If only you see what I can see"pastor Jesse replied her with a chuckle

" what's that pastor?"
"Never mind Nnomma,by the grace of God we shall win"

"Amen ohhh ...if you say so" she replied him as they walked down through the busy market ignoring the fingers that pointed at them,she was surprised at the turn out in the market normally at this hour everyone was getting ready to return to there various houses,though the sun had barely gone down, the place was noisy as sellers begged passerby to buy there wares.

"What's that?"
Jesse asked Nnomma as he pointed at the black and white cowries that was been carefully sewed into black wrappers.

Nnomma stopped right in her tracks as blinking twice,she couldn't believe her eyes
"This only happens once in a blue moon"

"What?" Jesse asked looking at her confused

"A new high priest of Oshimiri would soon be coronated ,every one is expected to dress in this outfit to show their loyalty and respect to the god and the priest"

"That's so mundane and ridiculous"

"Welcome to our world"

Jesse didn't fail to notice the attention he was creating in the market as all eyes were on him and whispers passed and travelled he seemed to be the sole focuse of everyone .as they pointed at him and nodded at themselves he was about to ask Nnomma why he was the centre of everyone attention when a crippled begger tapped him

"So it is true Oshimiri is slowly loosing it's powers,how did you manage to enter the sacred river and escaped unharmed"
the crippled man asked he had dirt all over him and smelled bad

"Yes you are that stranger that saved Afam twins from been sacrificed, it had never been heard of before in this community" one of the seller called out

"Who are you" another called out

"How did you defeat the masqurade,what strange powers do you carry that Oshimiri can't strike you to death"

Jesse was amazed at how fast news travelled he listened as they all threw question at him,they were all alert and defensive of themselves
"Just ignore them,let's go pastor" Nnomma replied scared for the pastor safety as she held his hand wanting him to move

"No Nnomma,the reason why I am here is to tell this people about Jesus Christ the all supreme One"

"They might hurt you for saying something contrary to there beliefs and custom,please let's leave here" Nnomma persisted as she saw the look on their faces but pastor Jesse was a stubborn man

"Peace unto you all" Jesse raised his voice to the crowd to stop the murmurings
"I am pastor Jesse I have come all the way from the city of Lagos to this wonderful community to share a very good news about Jesus Christ"
He said as he was surrounded by people both sellers buyers and passerby's he made a silent prayer before he spoke
