N2  - 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 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.-- (from publisher)
