I am Rev. Ukulele of (the) Church, New York USA parish. I have heard from my esteemed friend and brother in Christ Father Dougal, that you wish to join a ministry and help with establishing parishes in Nigeria. Please confirm that this is correct. If so then our church is more than willing to assist you and your brethren in this noble endeavour. Thanks and peace be with you.
Be blessed

My internet went loopy for part of the day, so I couldn't get back to Fabo till night. No harm done:
Rev. Ukulele wrote:Dear Fabo:
Thank you for your mail. Our internet at the church is poor, so I apologise if your email went unanswered. The Faith is not something that is learned in school, but something you are born with. Please tell me if you are a Christian man and believe in God. Our church is a Christian Church, and we believe that Jesus is that Holy Lamb who sacrificed on the Cross for the sins of humanity. We are trying to follow His Path, His Truth and His Faith.
If you are really a Christian man, if you want to be with us, if you feel that the Call is strong in your soul and if you think you could be our local Reverend in your country, then we can discuss it in detail. Please, think very well and do not rush! The Faith is something you choose to share with your brothers and sisters! You will have the opportunity to be our representative and you will have to take care of all your sheep there. There will be both responsibilities but also some spiritual and material benefits (monthly salary and spending budget for the Parish).
Be blessed

Despite the promising beginning, I heard nothing from the lad for quite a while and both me and PaulC began to get worried.
Dec. 22nd:
Dear Mr. Fabo:
I have not heard of you for a long time and I am very worried. Please reply quickly sir. Thank you and God bless.

I finally heard back from Fabo on the 24th, and we finally kicked this off to a good start:

Good day to you, I'm very sorry for not responding quickly I don't have phone currently due to some second chances that's the reason have not responded to your email, I borrowed phone to email and sometimes no one agrees to help me with there phone so it took me time to respond sorry about that,
About your question yes I'm a Christian I believe in Jesus I'm ready to serve him with all my heart thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Fabo.
I guess church going folk get free license to rob via email? Nah, something isn't right here
Rev. Ukulele wrote:Merry Christmas to you Mr. Fabo!
Son, let me confess that your sincere words delight me and make me think that maybe you are the providential man we need to set up a new Parish.
Please tell me a few details about you, about the city where you live and want to set up our Parish, about your future thoughts and about your projects.
Do you think the people around you will support your project? Are you able to gather those lost sheep of the flock near you?
I am waiting for your answer, to see if we can go on together.
Be blessed

I'm Fabo from South south part of Nigeria named bayelsa I believe not everyone will agree with my decision but it's my choice and my life so I can live it the way God wants me to, I believe I can call the flocks over here to serve God with me because I'm very good in explaining things in details and most of them will be encouraged to serve God because of me seeing person like me serving God I believe they will also serve God thank you sir.
Yours sincerely,
Fabo.
Note that he is from Bayelsa State. This may come in handy later, for something in the back of my mind.
By the way, the singer Timaya is from Bayelsa State. "Timaya" and "Dem Mama" are great songs of his. OK, back to baiting!

Rev. Ukulele wrote:Dear Fabo, bless you.
Am I permitted to call you by your first name, Fabo? As a friend? I hope so.
I feel an enormous joy when I read your words, especially as I recognize in them the seed of Faith and I can see with the mind's eye how from that seed can grow the Tree of Knowledge. Our Savior Jesus willingly climbed the Cross, wanting to take on his shoulders all the burden of mankind's sins; so do we with those around us. We help them, we defend them, we offer them support and protection. God help us!
Let me tell you that we are a Christian Church, we believe in God Almighty and we think Jesus is the Son of God. Our main headquarters is in Canada and we have few branches in America, Asia, Europe and Africa. We do charity and support especially the orphans and the homeless. All of our religious, cultural and charity actions can be watched on our church website: {sorry lads, no site for you!!!}
Let me formally introduce myself properly and I work for The Lord as memebership director of this Holy church. The leadership of our entire community is provided by Father Lockheed, God bless Him! The secret dream of His Excellency is to succeed in building an African Cathedral, from which we can start evangelizing all the poor people in entire African continent. We already have a small parish in Mozambique and another in Senegal, but we want to find a man dedicated to the Faith on which we can rely and who will become our future BOA (Bishop of Africa).
Son, if Faith is strong in your heart and if you have some trustworthy people around you who want to follow you, then we are willing to give you the chance to become our new Reverend and to establish our new Parish. It is a huge responsibility, which comes with benefits as well as obligations. If you accept this important task, then you and your people must become members of our community and be baptized in the sacred spirit of the Holy Lamb. The Admission Process is something formal, but it must be done according to our Sacred Rules. As secretary of the church, I will assist you throughout the entire process and will explain all the necessary steps, so that it will be easy for you to understand what the requirements are.
Your final Baptism Ceremony is equivalent to the official recognition of the existence of your new Parish and your appointment as Local Reverend. The development and charity budget as well as the monthly salaries for you and your assistants will be discussed immediately after graduation. Also, usually an installation bonus is offered for the Reverend, up to $300,000USD (for the proper equipping of the parish with all the necessary equipment - computers, telephones, printers, etc. and for purchasing all the necessary materials for the daily activity). But all these are just minor details that will be treated separately, immediately after the final Baptism Ceremony.
Think well and talk to all those around you about this responsibility; you don't have to give me the answer right now. Look to Christ and find the answer in Him! Be blessed, in the sacred name of our Holy Lamb!
Be blessed
Rev. Ukulele

And we shall see how things go with this new friend. Abimbola is on my mind mostly, but I can certainly spare time to make Fabo's life...interesting.
