Thomas Birch Freeman, who was the son of an African father and an English mother, was born in 1809.
At an early age, Birch Freeman was accepted into the Methodist Church. He began a missionary career on the then Gold Coast (now Ghana).
On his arrival in Badagry, Nigeria, he discovered that there was no Church. Without being discouraged, he started his evangelism under a tree.
Afterward, he built a missionary house, while he was among those assisting him build a place of worship.
Having spread the gospel satisfactorily in Badagry, he moved on to Abeokuta, where he conducted the first Christian service in the ancient town, in front of Oba Sodeke's palace.
