Copy of the agreement between the brother congregation and Nicolai Andersen about his ministry as a construction missionary in Nyamwezi, German East Africa.

The General Assembly cordially asks the Further Board to occupy a further area in (East) Africa, in addition to our Indian mission areas, to which our love should constantly belong, (as soon as this is possible without damaging our older work).

That is why Pastor Bracker's former confirmand of the building technician Andersen, who works in the service of the Brethren Church mission in D e u t s c h - O s t a f r i k a , has now made himself available. See Annex 3

Minutes] Item 6) 'The decision of the Further Board to cede our mission areas in East Africa to the Neukirchner Mission will be submitted to the General Assembly for approval. The General Assembly regrets this decision with the further and narrower Board, but because our forces are not sufficient for three mission fields and Africa was our youngest area and Neukirchen is doing good work, Neukirchen is also a German mission, it joins with a good conscience, except one voice (Kahlke, Hamburg).'.

Point 4) Pastor Felix Paulsen, who was actually trained for East Africa, makes himself available for the China Mission (after it became clear at the Leipzig Conference that East Africa will probably no longer be open for the Breklumers). By the end of the year, the Executive Board wants to inform him in which region (Africa or China) he will be deployed.

5) The plans for East Africa are postponed until Pastor Bracker gets to know the conditions there. 6) The Board asks Pastor Bracker to return home from his trip to India and not to travel on to Africa.7) The Basel Mission's question as to whether the Breklumers might not want to become active in Cameroon is answered in the negative because the Breklumers' plans for East Africa are already too far advanced. 8) The grant to the committee of the Continental Mission is increased from 20 to 40 Marks. 9) If at all possible, 5000 Marks should be made available in the course of the next accounting year for the East Africa Mission.

[Excerpt from 'Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburgisches Kirchen- und Schulblatt'] Giese (Bordesholm, father of the Bethel missionary W. Giese) with an attempt to clear up the misunderstandings concerning a new Breklum field of work. He pleads for the inclusion of the Africa mission.

[Excerpt from 'Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburgisches Kirchen- und Schulblatt'] Article by Hasselmann (Sieseby) with criticism of Breklum's approach. First question cards are sent out asking whether one should include a new field of work in DOA, then Bracker publishes only eight days later in the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Missionsblatt the critical article 'Ein neues Arbeitsfeld?', in which he doubts the sense of the Africa mission for Breklum. Hasselmann is of the opinion that Breklum should also enter the 'holy war' and urgently become active in DOA.

Letters from other mission houses and mission friends] Royal Consistory, Kiel, to the Breklum Mission Society. Report on the fact that unnamed women from Hamburg, who call themselves 'patriots', demand in a petition that the missionary work of the Breklumers in India (and East Africa) must be stopped. This mission activity would play into the hands of the English. The commanding general had decided to approve the position of the 'patriots': 'He considered himself obliged to use all means at his disposal to preserve German money for the German people alone in this serious time when the German people stood up for themselves with their best blood'. For this reason, Breklum must be asked 'during the state of war to give only those means to the missionaries and sisters in enemy foreign countries which are necessary for their maintenance, and to restrict their collections accordingly'.
