Dr Helen Roseveare’s Last Video Message

On Saturday 18th March WEC International held a service of Thanksgiving and Celebration for the life of Dr Helen Roseveare. During the service at Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church, Bangor the congregation watched Dr Helen Roseveare’s last video interview. 

Dr Helen Roseveare sailed to the DR Congo in 1953 where she set up a hospital with local clinics and a training school for nurses. She served God in Congo during some of the darkest days of the country’s history and was imprisoned for five months. Yet her experience of God’s love in this trauma shaped her life and ministry for the years that followed when she travelled worldwide as a missionary advocate and writer.

The video, shown for the first time on Saturday, was recorded by WEC International in September 2014 with the purpose of showing it at Dr Helen’s Thanksgiving service after her passing.
