La Dra. Helen Roseveare fue una dedicada misionera médica cuya vida ejemplificó una profunda fe y una resiliencia extraordinaria. Sus significativas contribuciones en el Congo implicaron el establecimiento y la reconstrucción de vitales instalaciones de atención médica, a menudo frente a adversidades extremas. A pesar de soportar inmensas pruebas personales, incluido el encarcelamiento y la violencia, demostró un compromiso inquebrantable de servir a los necesitados. Tras su regreso, su poderoso ministerio de oratoria y escritura compartió una narrativa convincente de esperanza, supervivencia y creencia inquebrantable.
Helen Roseveare qualified as a doctor, packed up her life in England and set off to be a missionary in the belgian congo. Although living through a rebellion and being taken captive for several months, Helen's faith remained strong and she returned to the renamed 'Zaire' to serve the Lord by working with people there. Her experiences in Africa have been an encouragement to many and made her well known and loved throughout the world.
What does it mean to esteem someone with honour? Helen Roseveare had this thought when reading the Bible and it caused her to dig further and to find out what it means to esteem the Lord with honour. The book calls us to a life of full-hearted discipleship where Christ is at the centre. Birthed in us should be a desire to please Christ and to study him that we might indeed portray him. Above all we really esteem him with honour when we fully proclaim the gospel of Christ.
