Was elder in Bethany and employed as an Evangelist with the same salary like Stephanus Christian. Seemingly he ended up in a serious conflict with Stephanus Christian.3
Was working together with Isak Frederik in Bethany. Missionary Albat trained Petrus Boois and Isak Frederik in regular classes. While Isak Frederik was working in the North and West of the district, Petrus Boois was responsible for the work on the farms around Helmeringshausen, which he did by using the SAR bus from Bethany.4

RMG Missionar Peter fügt der Liste in der die Evangelisten für statistische Zwecke aufgeführt werden sollen einen Zettel hinzu (ohne die Liste selber auszufüllen) mit der Notiz: "Ich habe keinen Hauptevangelisten und auch keinen Evangelisten. Meine Ältesten versehen den Dienst und ich." [Unterstreichung im Original] und dann folgen die Namen der Ältesten. Petrus Boois (Norden Nama), Efraim Fredrik (Reservat Nama), Saul Zacharias (Bergdamara, Nama Reservat und Süden), Isaak Fredrik und August Lehmann versehen in Bethanien ihren Dienst. "Mein Haupevangelist Kornelius Frederik gehört zu der Abfallbewegung."
