I remember Rev. Schroeder as a child at UMCA Chapel in Ilorin, Nigeria. I particularly loved listening to his sermons. He had the grace to captivate even childlike minds like mine. I won't forget how he told of his birth in his mother's church during a women's fellowship. Always so cheerful. Rest in peace and with the other saints in heaven. - Posted by: Eno Udongo (Member of Congregation ) on: Feb 01, 2017
