Helen Roseveare : On His Majesty’s Service
Original price was: $8.99.$7.99Current price is: $7.99.Add to cartHelen Roseveare qualified as a doctor, packed up her life in England and set off to be a missionary in the Belgian Colony of the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). She went there to set up hospitals and rural clinics and train national nurses to work in them. Her work often took Helen on long journeys through dense forests on roads that would make a fairground ride seem tame!
After Congo became an independent country Helen’s service was interrupted by the Simba Rebellion, during which she was assaulted and held captive for several months.
After some time of recovery Helen went back to the renamed ‘Zaire’ to serve the Lord by working with the people there. In the years that followed she established a nurses’ training college in the hope that the nurses, midwives and health workers who trained there would spread out through the vast northeast region of the country, taking the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ with them.
Since returning to the UK, Helen has travelled the world speaking about her experiences and been an inspiration to thousands of people.
