Samuel Ajayi Crowther ministry in Nigeria

The most important event of Crowther’s life was his becoming a Christian and giving himself to Christian service. Time went on, and from being a tutor, Samuel Crowther became a minister and then, in 1864, was made a bishop. He was the first black Bishop of modern times in Africa. He planted mission stations all along the banks of the Niger River.

He had wonderful wisdom and tact in dealing with different people and won their confidence in a remarkable way. Although he had learning and honor, he was very humble in the sight of the Lord as well as of the men. He assisted in translating a part of the Bible into the Yoruba language.

One of the most intense longings of Samuel’s heart was to find his mother and tell her about Jesus. He could not hear anything about her nor find her in any way. But one day, a most beautiful thing happened. A woman came to be baptized, and the Bishop found that she was not only a Christian but was also his own mother. What a joyful day that was! His life and labors were so honorable in the sight of God that his heart’s desire was eventually granted.
