Hailonda, David
* ?, ? † .


1916: Wulfhorst, who had to leave Ondjiva after the occupation by the Portuguese, was temporarily stationed in Omaruru by 1916. From there he visited the "countless" Ovambo in Tsumeb, who came there in search of work or because they fled Ovamboland during the famine of 1915/16. In May 1916 he visited Tsumeb for four weeks - he spend "herzerquickende" days, as he experienced something like a wakening - and 140 persons were registered for the baptism course. He baptized 30 Ovambos, which were prepared by "Ovambo-Gehilfe" David [Hailonda]. When Wulfhorst asked one of the participants, why he joined the course, he responded: "Ich weiß es nicht, weshalb; aber es ist mir so ins Herz gekommen." Other answered that the world was no longer as previously and they now wanted to hear the Word of God.1
