To reach out to the world with the gospel is the priority of Christian mission. In order to achieve this, missionaries usually employ various strategies in their mission fields. In this paper, an attempt is made using a historical approach to present mission education and medical services as examples of tools for mission as applied to the Shao community in the defunct Ilorin Province of Nigeria. In doing this, relevant prominent individuals were interviewed to secure first-hand information. At the same time, the works of available and relevant authors were consulted. The research revealed that the Seventh-day Adventist mission chose education while the Sudan Interior Mission made use of medical work in Shao. Each of the mission organizations succeeded in using its respective strategy as a wedge in a traditional but Muslim-controlled mission station, Shao. It concludes that education and medical services are effective tools for mission.

One of the challenges confronted by the missionaries of the colonial era in Nigeria, was how to reach the people at the grass root through their community leaders. Those that found themselves in Yorubaland were not exempted from this challenge. In this work, two Yoruba communities namely: Iperu in the then Ijebu province and Shao in the then Ilorin province are considered. The paper examines the interactions between the Traditional Council, the Missionaries and the Colonial Administrators in the period under review. It presents the authority and roles of the traditional rulers along with the council that worked with them for the welfare of the communities. Historical and comparative approaches were employed using available records with personal experiences and observations of the writer. The author discovered that the missionaries, in their efforts to spread the gospel did not all receive similar receptions from the people. The work concludes that missionary endeavors could be challenging but God always work in mysterious ways to fulfill his purposes even, in mission.
