Wird im März 1963 von dem Ortsmissionar Kessler entlassen, weil er zu wenig Zeit mit Farmreisen verbringt. In einem Gespräch zwischen dem Evangelisten und den Missionaren Mayer, Tötemeyer und Kessler in Keetmanshoop ergibt, verspricht der Evangelist seine Arbeit wieder treu zu tun, falls Kessler ihm zusagt, ihn wieder ab dem 01.05.1963 anzustellen. Kessler weigert sich allerdings das Gehalt für April zu bezahlen, da der Evangelist in dem Monat nicht gearbeitet hatte. Auf dem Hintergrund dieser Ereignisse erwägt der "Suidsinodale Bestuur", den Evangelisten nach Koes zu versetzen.1
