We arrived in Namibia Feb. 10th, and have loved learning about a new culture and country. The first formal Church organization came in 1973 when Otto Krauss was called as the presiding elder. The first church meeting had been held in his home April, 1972.
The first missionaries in Namibia arrived in 1978, with the first branch organized in Windhoek in 1983.

The Katutura Branch is leasing this building. We are looking for land to build a church. The weeds are all removed thanks to a group of 3 Institute brethren.
On August 22, 1992, Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, dedicated the land of Namibia for the preaching of the Gospel. His dedicatory prayer was a blessing upon the people, the land, the resources and the opportunity for religious liberty so that the Gospel of Jesus Christ could be taught to those who desired to learn.
The first Church-built chapel in Namibia was dedicated in Windhoek on July 6, 1997.
