Read the true story of Helen Roseveare, a missionary doctor in central Africa.

On the day of her eighth birthday, Helen sat in Sunday school cutting and sticking pictures of faraway countries and, in her heart, made a decision:

“When I grow up, I will travel the world and tell other boys and girls about Jesus.”

Follow her life story from medical student to missionary doctor in the heart of Africa. You’ll learn all about the ups and downs she experienced, including being held as a prisoner for many months, and you’ll discover how her faith kept her going.

This beautifully illustrated children’s biography of Helen Roseveare (1925-2016) is part of a series designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
