Helen Roseveare
Helen’s return to the Congo in 1966
Establishing a new medical school and hospital
A story of her joys and adventures
After twelve years of missionary work in the Belgian Congo, building up a simple medical service, Helen Roseveare found herself in the midst of a civil war. She was brutally beaten and raped and left with no choice but to return to Britain. She returned to the Congo in 1966 to assist in the rebuilding of the nation. In the eight years following the war, despite endless frustrations, God showed his unfailing guidance and unstinting provision for her needs. This book is the story of the joys and adventures of re–establishing the medical work, the church building programme and the work of forgiveness, necessary after the destruction of the civil war.
Helen Roseveare
Helen Roseveare (1925–2016) went to the Congo as a missionary between 1953 and 1973. A pioneer of vital medical work in the rainforests of this region, she had a major impact long after she left. Through many trials, she lived out her life striving to serve her Lord with every day and encouraging those around her to do the same.

Her stories are about a real person with a real God. And the exultant end of so many of her stories is the great release and relief of once again being still and knowing that God is God and I'm not.
