While this Mission and it's location certainly corresponded to the name and spirit of it's Parent organization it was a momentous failure for that group. Illness and famine plagued the early missionaries and lead to the death of the Bishop. Too far from supply and communication centers, too unhealthy for those not well acclimatized and too politically unstable, the site had to be abandoned within 3 years.
Wakati ujumbe huu na eneo lake ulichukuana na jina na ari ya jumuia mama, Ujumbe huu ulishuhudia kushindwa kwa aina yake kutekeleza malengo yake. Maradhi na njaa na ukame uliwakumba wamisionari wa mwanzo na kupelekea kufa kwa askofu. Kundi hili lililazimika kuondoka katika eneo hilo ndani ya kipindi cha miaka mitatu kwa sababu eneo hilo lilikuwepo mbali sana na upatikanaji wa bidhaa kutoka nje na vituo vya mawasiliano, eneo hilo halikuwa na mazingira mazuri ya kiafya kwa wale ambao hawana uzoefu na mazoea na hali ya hewa ya hapo na pia eneo halikuwa na utulivu wa kisiasa.
