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 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 have been an encouragement to many and made her well known and loved throughout the world. If you would like to learn more about Helen Roseveare and her writings, you can see a complete of her books published by Christian Focus here: LINK. Also, you would be well served by setting aside some time to view the video interview (below) David Meredith did with Dr. Helen in April 2011.
