Sakeus Iihuhua

Nangombe Sakeus Iihuhua (born c. 1885, Omapale, Ondonga, Ovamboland, Namibia — died 22 June 1976[1]) was one of the first seven Ovambo pastors, whom the director of the Finnish Missionary Society, Matti Tarkkanen ordained into priesthood in Oniipa, Ovamboland, on 27 September 1925, with a permission granted by the Bishop of Tampere, Jaakko Gummerus.

[1][3] The king of Ombadja in Angola had had a dream and sent a man to Iihuhua, so that he could obtain a teacher into his kingdom.

[4] Before Iihuhua was ordained, the church services in Ombalantu had been performed by a Finnish missionary from Okahao.

When Iihuhua had been ordained, he was joined by the Finn Heikki Saari in Ombalantu, at the mission station of Nakayale.

[6] Elias Pentti wrote in 1958 of him, that "in spite of his age, he had remained surprisingly active and still had a burning desire to serve the cause of the Gospel.
