Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 11.10.1876 Proper date: 11.10.1876 Description An account of the resource 4 women have newly come forward into the catechumenate. The other catechumens are receiving almost daily instruction. Asante is running a night school (in addition to earlier instituted Sunday school), in the former many members and catechumens have learned to read. Several heathen young men who do not intend to be baptised have also started attending the night school. The members of the community themselves asked for this night school after Asante had several times himself attempted something of the kind and failed. They have made a law among themselves to punish anyone absent without good reason with a fine. Asante writes that this is not evangelical practice but still necessary in Akim. A catechist appointed to Kibi in the middle of the year, Samuel Gyima, is a Kibi man and had to be suspended almost on arrival for having committed adultery in Akropong. He repeats a request for a diacon to assist him in Kibi. If this request were granted he would transfer Mullings to Asiakwa and start the chain of outstations he wants to create between Akim and Kwahu, though he adds in passing, that he should think also about the North and North West of Akim -the bulk of the schoolboys from outside Kibi and Kukurantumi come from this area and all the baptised school boys are from Kwaman. A path goes from Kibi to Kwahu via Kwaman but it is not as direct as the other path.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 08.10.1877 Proper date: 08.10.1877 Description An account of the resource Contains information not only about the events in Kibi in September, but also a preaching journey in Akim in August. This covered 17 villages, its general direction (North West and North East of Kibi) was determined by news of places where there were converts though this was by no means all places. The three Tafo villages (Ati, Tafo and Osiem) were visited but appear not to have contained any converts. In Asunafo were 6 converts (all men and youths). Asante does not judge as zealous as those of nearby Abomesu (7 men and boys) who are leaded by one of the most notable men of the town. In Abomosu he was told by the converts that there are people in Aaiakwa and Saman who would announce themselves as catechumens if they had a teacher. Indeed in another part of the report Asante writes that the new catechist in Asiakwa has already some catechumens including an ex-fetish priest (Asante specifically writes in connection with the location of Abomosu and the normal way to Asante that the latter passes Asiakwa, Saman, Osino and Anyinam and leaves Abomosu to one side.) Due to heavy rains Asante was not able to visit Apinaman and Asaman where a catechist had already found that there were converts - 9 in the latter (6 having already lapsed out of an original group of 15) and 10 in the former. There are converts too in Asuom, Apapam and its 3 neighbouring villages. In this situation of great potential development Asante suggests that 3 experienced catechists should be posted to Abomosu, Asaman and Apinaman (perhaps ordained as deacons first) and to save money first put into rented accommodation in the actual villages until it can be seen more clearly what was to emerge. Over events in Kibi: Asante had forbidden the Christian teachers to write letters for Ata without his knowledge (they were, of course, Akims). When the Okyenhene heard this he sent messengers to his advocate on the Coast and these returned on the day before the assembly in which Asante was ordered to leave Akim. At the meeting on the 20th the elders of the towns already named were in the assembly, with the asafos (young team). In the manuscript he lists a series of 6 charges made against him by the Okyenhene the only one (not reflected in the printed version in the Heidenbote, 1878 pp9ff) being that Asante had accused him of common theft. The Friday between the formal assembly and banning of Asante, and the riot on the station was the Friday before the Adae festival. Ata had - at some stage in the few months previously or in the actual events of August and September, three times conveyed charges against D. Asante to 'the highest people on the coast'. At the end of the report Asante writes a commentary on some of the charges made by the king against him: concerning the charge that Asante had charged the king with theft, Asante had charged members of the king's household with theft of goat of his, which the king had had to take on himself. And Asante had struck three of the king’s ‘boys’ who had chased hens on the station one Sunday morning during the conducting of a service. Asante's report gives a somewhat more detailed account of the Akwapimhene's embassy to Kibi which hinged on the question why no representative of Akwapim had been present during the legal proceedings which led to the banning of Asante from Akim. When Ata returned from his visit to the Coast in the middle of August it was with the Governor's commission to disarm the Juabens in Akim.

Communicants: 4 Children: 2 Non-communicants: 4 Catechumens: 2 Heathen pupils in the school: 10 Teacher: Samuel Ohene. Travelling has been frustrated by heavy rains - the paths have all been knee-deep in mud, and were still in a bad condition in December. Besides the difficulty of working with the Akim people, missionary work in the district is particularly handicapped by the condition of the paths, and the fact that the villages are small and very scattered. ‘The roads in Akim are, even in in African eyes, very very bad.' In his street preaching, he once said that Europeans, too, had been, 3000 years before ignorant, half-naked, but had become what they were through 'the good word of Jesus'. At which a youth turned round and said to his elder that they should follow this good word and throw away their idols - the elder however replied that the word had come too late for him. He also explains about street preaching that the attentiveness of the hearers depends partly on the quality of the preaching. The community increased in the year only through Asante's rescue of a child assigned to death. Four of the excluded Christians have applied to be re-admitted. The full members of the community acted in such a way the whole year that if the continuation of the station came into question again, they would not bear any of the blame for this. Asante remarks that the members of the community can pray, though with tautology.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.01.1878 Proper date: 28.01.1878 Description An account of the resource Includes the point that Buck has arrived on the station, as has Cat. Anoba and pastor (deacon) Nath. Date. The numbers in the Christian community have risen from 56 to 108 (Kibi alone) with 80 communicants, 3 non-communicants, 25 children and 11 catechumens. In the boarding school are 49 pupils. Kukurantumi: Cat. Tete has been appointed to Kukurantumi as journeying preacher. The number of members in the community had increased in the year from 36 to 57, with 28 communicants, 3 non-communicants, 26 children and 19 catechumens. There were 23 pupils in the school. In Kibi several of the Christians have settled on the station or were building there. Cat, Mullings was transferred to Asiakwa, Sam Gyima ran away after playing a notable part on the side of the King in the disturbances and the subsequent court action. Anoba was posted to Akim to settle at Apedwa, but the disturbances interfered with that plan. Oware was specially assigned to preaching journeys and had spent time giving the Apapam Christians their early baptismal instruction. During the year 10 people had moved away from Kibi, and 1 had died. 6 Christians moved to Kibi, however. 4 children were born to Christian parents, and 49 people were baptised. 4 children, 39 men, and 6 women, (10 were from Apapam, at one stage there were 13 catechumens at Apapam, but 3 lapsed). Among the women is a cousin of King Ata - her Christian name was Susanna. This modest woman has already had to suffer a lot at the hands of the king, when it became known that, like her husband, she had decided to become a Christian. Ambassadors came from all over Akim (or, an embassy came from all the elders of Akim) to try to change her mind. When she refused the king took every opportunity to taunt her singing after the local custom “A princess has gone down the hill'. She wants to become a Christian and join the people who used to be slaves.’ Her reply to this was to point to Queen Victoria. They threatened to expel her from the royal family, and at the gathering of elders in September, at which Asante was so badly handled, she was formally expelled – at one time there were threats that she would lose the property she had inherited from her mother. This sort of persecution has been repeated in all the places with Christians - those at Apapam, Asiakwa, Abomosu and Asunafo have all suffered more or less. As a result, people in villages are asking urgently for land to be bought for them so that they can make separate villages. The rumour is now that since the Okyenhene has failed to drive out Asante, he will seek opportunities to poison the Christians. The religious life of the community, Asante reports that those who can read the bible regularly - and people have learned to pray as a group when the occasion warrants. In terms of speaking the truth and being industrious the life of the community is less than good. In the course of the year Asante himself travelled 21 days, his catechists etc. 169 days. Between then they preached in about 50 towns and villages. The same evening as the invasion of the station 8 men came to them from Abomesu to celebrate the Sunday with them (the riot took place on a Saturday).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 19.01.1874 Proper date: 19.01.1874 Description An account of the resource The number of the Christian community has increased from 5 to 15, communicants from 4 to 8, children from 2 to 7. There are 4 non-communicants in the community at the end of 1873, 5 catechumens, and 10 heathen school pupils. Asante himself has been having to work on the cleaning of the station from weeds. That the Kukurantumi people were thinking of resettling themselves in Asante as a result of their lost land ease is false. They had thought of resettling themselves further into the interior of Akim, in the area from which they originally came, but decided in the end that even though they had lost land, they were well enough off where they were. He undertook 23 days' preaching journeys in the course of the year. During the year he has acted as host to various officers of Captain Glover's forces travelling in Akim. The school population is still unstable - children are taken away when their parents want to pawn them. Explaining in detail the movement of numbers in the community, Asante explains that there has been no gain from the heathen. The increase is due to the teacher married Mose Badu, the strongest Christian in Kukurantumi, has at last succeeded in finding a Christian wife - Magdalena, daughter of Rosina Osso, once freed by the Basel Mission Slave Emancipation Commission. An orphan boy who had to leave the Haas family when Mrs Haas died and has come to live in the Badu family. There are four excluded Christians under test in prospect of re-acceptance. The second marriage in the community is that of old Jacob, a slave of the Kukurantumihenes, who is married to another elderly slave who has recently asked to be accepted as a catechumen. Asante too regrets that the members of this congregation have no particular economically useful skill and that farming is not the answer so far from the coast.

The catechists are as before, but there is a new teacher Simeon Bampo. The community has fallen from 32 to 31, with 18 communicants, 2 non-communicants, 11 children and 2 catechumens. There are 22 boys in the boarding school. Kukurantumi Personnel - Simeon Koranteng replaces Asante. The community has fallen from 14 to 12, with 7 communicants, 5 children and 4 catechumens. There are 5 children in Sam. Ohene’s school. Kibi - general account 2 Christians had built small houses on mission land. Before his departure Haas was severely ill, and Asante had severe illness in his family to cope with, as well as the work of the station exacerbated by the fact that it was used as a camp and depot during the war against Asante. For that reason he had travelled little once to Asiakwa, and once on a 10 day preaching journey which took him to Abobiri, Asaman, Asanease, Akanteng, Apiremang, Takyimang, Akem Akropong, and Adade-ntem. On the other hand the two catechista have both travelled 50 days in the year, between them covering 43 villages. The movement of people in and out of the community is mostly in terms of the movement of numbers of the mission and their families. 2 members of the community died, however. The two catechumens are from the family of the most notable Kibi elder one born a house slave reacted to opposition from the elder by threatening to run away to become a catechumen in Accra or Akwapim, citing the new law about slavery as protection. In the school there has been continuing trouble over discipline, though apprently on no very serious scale. Two of the boys are Asantes, brought from his Asante family by a man the missicnaries had earlier freed. Kukurantumi - general report Koranteng had travelled for 10 days since his arrival in Kukurantumi, visiting Ati, Tafo, Osiem, Mease, Anyinasin, Osino, Bunusu, Nsutam, and Asiakwa. Street preaching there is often attended by strangers, especially now the road is open to the tribes from the interior. The catechumens are 2 wives of Christians, and a married couple.

Cotton cultivation was general in the area he visited. Iron implements in use were from Apafo. People in Buem and Nkonya have taken newly to exporting palm oil to the merchants' collecting places on the Volta. In a passage about political alignments Asante says that Nkonya having become independent of Asante should belong to the Ewe kingdom, but they declared itself independent. The journey took 25 days. In Botoku the people had not heard the gospel, apart from those who had lived in Akwapim. 2 Christians there had been baptised by Missionary Bohner in Abetifi, but now all alone were living as heathens. Anvoi - one of the biggest towns in the area, and known for its market. The chief asked for a resident catechist - although on Asante's return he found the chief had died of a stroke. Kpandu Asante lodged with a king's brother. A larger and better known town than Anvoi - a 'little Salaga'. Everything on sale - even men. There are almost as many Mohammedans as locals. They have a place for their services, but are not missionising. Praprawasi - the first Nkonya village. Twumuru - they thought he wanted to take their baba fetishes away and being bigotted fetish servers expressed opposition. Tepa and Antamda - small villages, friendly reception to preaching on the homeward journey. Wurupon is not the capital of Nkonya - the king lives in a small village on the West of Twumuru called Betenase. The journey from the last Nkonya village to the first Buem village is very unsafe, owing to the habit of kidnapping people for sacrifice. It takes 8 hours. It was a lonely day except that they met one party of Mohammedan traders taking their 'big and beautiful' cows to Kpandu for slaughter - though they also take them to the coast for sale. The first Buem village was Aku, where they had a good reception. Another early Buem village was Atenko. Guaman/Dwaman - the chief was a fetish priest – his deputy welcomed Asante. Gyasekan - much bigger than Guaman. Borada, where the chief was called Akpanya. There was almost a serious incident here when a group of elders came to investigate him escorted by a group of men armed with clubs. They wanted to know who he thought he was arguing against Dente. He was not allowed to use his left hand to gesture with. Some women also had seen him looking at the sand by their watering place, and Asante’s explanation that he was looking to see if they had sold there was only accepted when his Nkonya guide was actually recognise personally by one of the people present. Some of the heat was taken out of the situation when a youth said that it was the fashion of the Sukuu-foo to attack the fetishes. From Borada he went via Gyasekan and Gunman to the Kong mountain. Characteristic of the whole journey were the questions Who are you? Where do you come from? Who sent you? Where are you going? - And especially in Buem if the chief agreed with his preaching gong-gong was sounded and the chief was present for it.

Most of the new pupils are small boys. No pupils were expelled (in spite of a rule that the third detected lie would be punished by expulsion) - and one was transferred to the Akropong Middle School. The school and the pupils had a troubled year. At beginning some of the ex-slave boys were severely treated - even beaten - by their ex-masters. They were also forced to give an 8-week holiday instead of the usual 3 week holiday, because with the presence of Hausa soldiers followed by the Juaben refuges there was a severe shortage of food. At the end of the year they were again forced to give an unexpected vacation due to an epidemic of chicken pox. They have started a farm on land beyond the mission land's boundaries to the South-East.

Mullings, and Cat. C.L. Meyer. During the year the numbers in the community had increased from 14 to 56, there were 35 communicants and 4 children, 17 non-communicants. There were 14 catechumens as he wrote the report. In the boarding school there were two teachers in addition to Meyer as housefather - Jonathan Asumen, and Jonas Oware. 44 pupils. At Kukurantumi (he gives the area of Mission Land at 18 acres) the number in the community rose from 24 to 36 with 18 communicants, 2 non-communicants, and 16 children. There were 7 catechumens as he wrote the report. There 21 were 18 pupils in the school. The two new teachers in Kibi were both Akims. Asante writes that though not so gifted as the catechists they could have achieved better results with their pupils (the two lowest classes) if they had worked more conscientiously. The movement of people into out of the community included a loss of 16 people through their moving away, and a gain of 8 by their moving to Kibi, 31 by baptism of the heathen, and 3 by baptism of children of Christian parents. The life of the community is described in generalities - the heathen sins of adultery and becoming indebted were not absent; the Christians were making farms more willingly than in the past; 2 young men were apprenticed to a carpenter in Kibi, two more were about to be went to learn locksmithery at Christiansborg. Asante and the catechists travelled between them 45 days and worked in the following towns: Apiraman, Kade, Nkwatanan, Otumi, Asuom, Baneso, Takyimamma, Tumfa, Adadentem, Pano, Tete, Sagyimase, Asiakwa, Saman, Osine, Anyinam, Mease, Anyinasin, Dwenase, Abompe, Akenkawase, Kwaben, Asafo, Akoko, Afwenease, Akurofu, Awenade, Apapam, Afiesa, Apedwa-Krobo, Nkroso and Atfiionso and Wirenkyiren.

Preaching in Kibi is suffering from a great decrease in population due not only to the effects of the Emancipation, but also to many families moving out into farming villages. Because of this, and other circumstances, the Okyenhene has travelled to the coast to ask advice of the regime. It is much to be deplored that he is losing the respect of his people. He, on the other hand, nurses a secret hatred against the Christians, believing that their leaving his town for the mission station is a contributory factor to his difficulties.

In Wurupon there was as an even bigger crowd. The general question was why had the mission not yet settled someone among them. Asante remarks in connection with Nkonya that Assistant Catechist Immanuel Boakye is exceptionally good at preaching to the heathen – he was a real heathen, and now is a sturdy Christian, and can speak from heart to heart out of his own experience. From Nkonya they went along the caravan route to Krakye. On the day they reached Akrosso they were able to speak with individuals on the road, but only in a Tepa village (good reception and gift of provisions for the journey) were they able to preach to a crowd. In Akrosso they preached - Asante evidently felt the people had very little understanding of Christianity, preached on 'the biblical history' (a repeated theme in the reports by which is probably meant the story of the Fall and the Redemption), but 'one could see that the people did not grasp it'. They preached to a friendly reception in Apaso, and in two villages on the Oti, one large and one small, both called Ahenkro. In Krakye they could not raise an audience in the Mohammedan quarter, but in Krakye proper the chief and elders came in response to the bell. They both preached to an attentive audience, indeed next day - Asante reports there were conversations about the sermons, and the wish expressed(by ordinary people presumably) that a mission agent should be stationed there. He compares their reception with that he received in 1878. A Christian who was in Krakye recently says that ‘the preaching of the gospel on that side of the Volta has made Dente ill, and he will die soon'. There was smallpox in Krakye. Boakye's sermons was based on Isaiah 11.6, comparing Asante to the leopard and the wolf, and their erstwhile subjects with the lamb. Now they are all living together in peace, and the Word of the Lord has been fulfilled. Therefore the Krakye people should give up Dente and worship God. In Buem, except in one fetish village, they were everywhere received with great friendliness, attentively listened to, and asked when mission agents were coming to Buem. In Borada (Asante recalls the events of 1882 when he began to speak against Dente) the chief himself criticised Dente. They visited lmost all the Buem towns and villages. Summing up the trip Asante describes everywhere eagerness to receive the Mission: indeed in Nkonya a positive impatience, because they have been promising to come for so long. ‘I do not think that this general longing for the Word comes from an inner conviction, but much more because they are tired with their old religion and want a new one - or indeed because they want elucidation.

These are that in an independent Asante the hindrances the missionaries suffer from the chiefs subordinate to the English Protectorate will be magnified many times: that every year at the great yam festival it is again resolved never to become political subordinate, especially to the British (Missionary Buhl remarks in a subscript that the priest of the La fetish swears vengeance on the British every year at his great festival too). In fact, if any promise were forthcoming concerning protection for missionaries from the Asantehene it could hardly be kept. Asante suggests an alternative missionary strategy of working in in the Twi districts south of the Asante border - Asin, Denkyira, Wassaw. He also corrects the spelling - you should really write 'Asante’ for 'Ashanti' - the 'sh' is a British insertion.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.09.1882 Proper date: 20.09.1882 Description An account of the resource Asante records the Asantehene as saying in reply to their approaches that when his town had been built up again as it had been before then he would welcome-any white man who wanted to visit him, and -welcome following visits, too. Asante also considered that the reply signified the message that the destruction and ruin of Kumasi was the saddest thing which had happened to him and his chiefs, and they would never love someone who had been connected with the destruction as Ramseyer had. Enmity against Ramseyer is still strong – the strength of Ramseyer’s own wish to work in (love for) Kumasi is so strong, however, that he does not see this. The Kumasis are not bowed and want to create their old political power again. The only change is the ending of public ritual murder, though Asante saw and heard signs that it continued in secret. In any case he reckons some other society will be invited to Kumasi, if any ever is, Ramsayer's so-called friends tell him what he wants to hear - and even then an old man, a friend of his, once told him that no-one was more responsible for the breakdown in trade between Kumasi and the north-than Ramseyer. Asante considers that the Kumasis already know well, through Ansah, that Ramseyer's imprisonment did not cause that war. Asante believes, however that the Asantes think their luck was 'taken from them by Ramseyer's imprisonment hence the enmity. And, of course, his staying in Kwahu and working in Asante Akim has not endeared him to Asante --the Asantes think that but for Ramseyer's presence in Kwahu, and the Kwahu belief that he was some sort sf protection for them. Kwahus have returned to the Asante empire. Their gifts of food from the Asantehene also came late, and all the eggs were bad, this signifying that the Asantes were trying to create a situation in which Ramseyer would not-want to return. Asante advises giving up all hope of an Asante mission until the power of Asante is broken, meanwhile contemplation working in the seceded kingdom.
