W. Locher travelled to Odumase in the state of Krobo, 50 miles (80 km) northeast of the Ghanaian capital, Accra, where they were warmly welcomed by Odonkor Azu, who entrusted one of his sons, Tei, to them to be baptised educated and brought up as a Christian.[3] References 1. ^1 Daniel Miles McFarland, Historical Dictionary of Ghana, Scarecrow Press, 1995, p. 120. 2. ^1 Roger Gocking, The History of Ghana, Greenwood Press, 2005, p. 54. 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.johannes-rebmann-stiftung.de/cms/en/missionaries/zimmermann-johannes/zimmermann-johannes-life-and-work/|title=Zimmermann, Johannes – Life and work – Johannes-Rebmann-Stiftung|access-date=5 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171124022932/http://www.johannes-rebmann-stiftung.de/cms/en/missionaries/zimmermann-johannes/zimmermann-johannes-life-and-work/|archive-date=2017-11-24|dead-url=no|df=}}
