Description 1 online resource (314 pages) : illustrations, map Contents The first 24 years in Germany (1843-1867) -- The German settlers of 1858 and the Frankfurt Baptist Church -- His lifework with the whole of South Africa as his parish (1867-1896) -- End of the pioneer period and the beginning of the 20th century (1896-1905) -- The autumn of his life (1906-1926) -- Gutsche's principles, attitudes and teachings -- Conclusions Summary In 1859 the British "imported" 445 German settler families to strengthen the colonial borders in British Kaffraria (now Eastern Cape) in South Africa. Three of these settler families were Baptists, they evangelized their fellow Germans and anyone else they met. In 1867 Johann Gerhard Oncken of Hamburg, the founder of the Baptist Churches in Continental Europe, sent Hugo Gutsche to take care of the new Baptist community there and evangelize the native population. The author of this book, Fritz Haus, the last of Gutsche's German successors, wrote his PhD on the life and work of Hugo Gutsche, graduating from the University of Stellenbosch at the age of 80. Haus describes his ministry to White and Black over half a century and he does not forget Mrs. Mary Gutsche, whom her husband called his "co-pastor."
