Although the AME Church was only officially organised on July 3rd, 1946 her isolated presence dates back to 1927 as first entries are recorded in Baptism and Wedding Registers. Its first site was in the Old Lokasie, but with the introduction of apartheid Group Areas Act the Church was forced to relocate to its present site under the leadership of Rev. B G Karuaera. The church was sometimes used to house meetings of indegineous opposition groups that wrote petitions to the United Nations. From the Ebenezer AME Church three new extensions were successfully established: the St. Andrews AME Church, Khomasdal in 1979, the Purity AME Church, Wanaheda in 1992 and the H B Senatle Metropolitan AME Church, Windhoek in 1997. The following pastors laboured faithfully and contributed to the successful ministries: Revs. Malashloe, Moshe Sephula, Johannes Jakobs, Bartholomew G. Karuaera, Erwin S. Tjirimuje, Andreas Biwa, William A. Balie, Hendrik Witbooi, Willem Simon Hanse, Gotthard B. Partenbach, Ismael P /Goagoseb and the present Rev. Albert E Biwa. <br><br><hr><h3> Mission-in-Mission</h3> Our mission is to minister to the spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional, and environmental needs of all people by spreading Christ's liberating gospel through word and deed. At Ebenezer, we are now reaching the 400 membership mark and we want to preach the gospel until all souls reachable are saved. Yes, we are involved in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and have a fulltime program ministering to those in Windhoek prisons, hospitals, mental institutions. We are taking the amen-corners to the street-corners - nothing is achieved unless souls are saved, and thats our core business. If you do not have a church home, we invite you to consider Ebenezer AME Church, for we want to take you in and equip you for service to God, neighbour and country. <br><br><hr><center><br> Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church is associated with: African Methodist Episcopal (AME)<br>for additional information, see the<a href="/denomlst.htm" target=_top> denomination links</a>.<br><br>For information about this page contact: <a HREF="mailto:hansews@lineone.net">hansews@lineone.net</a><br><br>Last Update: Sun Nov 05 13:23:26 (CST)<br>This page has been accessed: <b>4551</b> times since Mon Aug 09 11:16:49 1999.<br><br><hr><br>Search for other churches in the <a href="/ch_srch.htm#top" target=_top>Church Directory</a><br> <br>To apply for a FREE Web page like this for your church <a href="/appform.html" target=_top>Click Here.</a><br> <br>This Web page is sponsored by <a href= "/index.html" target=_top>Net Ministries</a>.<a href="/index.html" target=_top><br><IMG align=absmiddle hspace=4 src="/art/minilogo.gif"width=124,height=46 alt="[Net Ministries Home]" border=0></a></center></body></html>
