Two of their leaders, Inno Idiong and John Jacob Obot, visited Crystal Spring Colony, Manitoba, Canada, staying for two months to experience the life of a Christian community. They asked them to come to Nigeria to help establish a similar community, based on the true Christian faith and life of brotherhood. Contributions of money, equipment, and supplies will provide resources and encouragement in their efforts towards reaching their goal of making Palmgrove a self-sufficient community.
