The total population of EYN members in Borno and Adamawa were 1,162,240. Nine Districts Church Council were sampled. Eight hundred and thirty five (835) respondents were sampled to represent the total population. Eight hundred and thirty five (835) questionnaires were distributed and seven hundred and sixty six (766) were retrieved. Oral interview was also administered to twenty five (25) „key people who were members of EYN. Among the people interviewed were: EYN immediate past National President, current National President, past General Secretary, and other National officers of EYN who have the sum total of the records concerning the Church and its members and what they passed through as Church officers.
