EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene atmosphere of the Missionary station at Tsumeb, Owamboland, South West Africa (now Namibia) in the 1930s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the missionaries who dedicated their lives to spreading the Gospel in this remote African outpost. The photograph shows a group of missionaries gathered around a table, engaged in a serious discussion. Their attire reflects their commitment to their faith, with the men wearing collared shirts, ties, and jackets, while the women don modest dresses and head coverings. The missionaries appear focused and determined, their eyes fixed on the task at hand. In the background, we see the mission station buildings, including the church and the school. The thatched roofs and whitewashed walls are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the missionaries, who built these structures using local materials and labor. The lush greenery and clear blue sky add to the idyllic scene, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. The Missionary station at Tsumeb was established in the late 19th century by the Berlin Missionary Society, with the aim of evangelizing the Owambo people and providing them with education and healthcare. The missionaries faced many challenges, including language barriers, cultural differences, and the harsh African climate. Despite these challenges, they persevered, and their legacy can still be seen in the vibrant Christian communities that exist in Owamboland today. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the missionaries who dedicated their lives to spreading the Gospel in Africa during the 1930s. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era and sheds light on the rich history of religious evangelism on the African continent.
