This church suffered much during the occupation of Namibia by South Africa, including having its church printing press destroyed twice and many of its people fled to neighboring Angola and Zambia. The task of rebuilding the church and country began in earnest with the independence of Namibia in 1990. Urban work has brought the church into the cities of central and southern Namibia. Outreach also is happening among other ethnic groups within the country. This is a project that received some assistance from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Enrollment is about sixty women and men.
