LAGOS, Nigeria 22 April 2008 It’s early morning, and Hilary and Patience Ekpo are going over the day’s plans. After reading scriptures and praying together, they gather their five children together and go through a similar exercise, this time with the whole family.
An important part of their family devotional is the compilation of a “to-do” list, so that everyone knows what needs to be done and who is doing what for the day ahead.
By 7 a.m. they have left home for school and work, but the family members also look forward to gathering later in the day for an evening meal and family-focused time.
