		The founding of this society on 29 February 1824 was the work of a small number of Prussian nobility whose main aim was ‘to further the work of the gospel among the heathen races of the new world’.
		This did not materialize, because on arriving in Philippolis, a London Missionary Society station north of the Orange River, the English missionary G A Kolbe persuaded the Berlin missionaries to settle among the nomadic Kora (Korana) chiefdoms along the Riet River in the southern Orange Free State.
		The society found it increasingly difficult to obtain the funds for the upkeep of the mission work and many stations had to be closed down.

		Because of a scarcity of resources, the Rhenish Missionary Society (the present name United Evangelical Mission) working in central and southern parts of Namibia was unable to extend its work into Ovamboland, and instead offered this option to the recently established Finnish Missionary Society (FMS) (the present name The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission) (1859).
		Through their diaries, correspondence, and the minutes of their meetings, missionaries transmitted information concerning, for example, the progress of their work, the way of life and culture of the Ovambo people, and of course their own feelings and personal lives.

		Witbooi received many impulses by the missionaries of the Rhenish Missionary Society and especially by his teacher and mentor Johannes Olpp which moulded his character and help to explain his later resistance against German colonial occupation.
		Whereas Hendrik was first lauded for his exemplary Christian faith by the missionaries, their attitude towards him changed radically when — following his religious awakening in 1880 — he continued the search of the Witboois for their “promised land” and engaged in conflicts with the Herero.
		In view of the chaos and violence he spread, the missionaries withdrew their favour, since they viewed his “mission” as religious fanatism.

	Letters of Bishop Tozer and His Sister
		The missionaries on the eastern side of the Island may well be attached to his Diocese, and it would be premature, I think, to make any other missionary settlement there for a time.
		I regret to say that anything is greedily believed to their prejudice, and industriously circulated by too many who have been placed under constant obligations to them, and the good English maxim of "hearing both sides of the question "is systematically set aside when the supposed criminal is a Portuguese.
		It is, of course, doubtful whether all the supporters of the Church of England missionaries would like their agent to work under a Missionary Bishop, and I could not compel any to recognize me as their Ordinary.
