Omupanda was a mission station of the Rhenish Mission Society in Oukwanyama in southern Angola, located 10 km to the south-east of Ondjiva. Omupanda was founded in 1892 by the German missionary August Wulfhorst. At the time it was thought that the area was part of German South West Africa. Just as the first building was completed, it burned down and had to be rebuilt. In 1900 the German missionary Hermann Tönjes came to Omupanda, together with his newly wed wife Anna (née Rautanen), daughter of the Finnish missionary Martti Rautanen. The Germans had to leave Angola in 1916, as a result of World War I, and thus Omupanda was left empty. In 1928 the mission was transferred to the Catholic Church, and it remains Catholic to this day. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omupanda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
