"Ont that 6 October he [Father Malinowsky, Oblates of St. Francis de Sales] baptised three persons, Lukas Witbooi, his granddaughter, Rachel Witbooi, and Margarita Kaffer. Lukas Witbooi was a Protestant. His father had been a zealous elder in the Lutheran Church. After his father's death Lukas carried on preaching and rendering small services to the people among whom he lived. During the three-year war with the Germans Lukas followed Morenga everywhere. Morenga loved to sing. Each time they had won a victory over the enemy he wanted Lukas to intone a hymn, which the latter took from his small hymn book. After the conclusion of peace Lukas was obliged to move to Gabis with other Bondelswart."1 Lukas Witbooi became a "diligent" catechist and interpreter of Father Augus Auner at Gabis.2
