Dr. Helen Roseveare, now in her 80th year worked with the Heart of Africa Mission during the 1950s and 60s. Her autobiography Give me this Mountain is a Christian missionary classic. With the publication of her new book Digging Ditches, EN was able to get an interview with her.
EN: What part of Africa did you serve in as a missionary?
HR: I had the privilege of serving as a medical missionary in the north-eastern province of the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), with WEC International, for 12 years and then for a further eight years in an Inter-Mission medical programme, still with WEC but also with AIM, CBFMS (of USA), and UFM.
