On His Majesty’s Sacred Service
Irene Howat
Helen 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 become well known
as a conference speaker. Her experiences in Africa and her
speaking ministry have resulted in her being known and
loved throughout the world.
