About this ebook
From the powerful drive of C T Studd, the great cricketer turned missionary who founded WEC International, to the simple courage of the little boy who saw his father martyred for Christ, Living Stones is a vivid account of the people involved in WEC's bold vision to evangelise the world.
Helen Roseveare has selected a true story from each of WEC's 75 years [up to 1987] to illustrate its growth from one man in one place to to over 1200 missionaries and countless national workers the world over.
Pulsating with the urgency of the task, Living Stones captures the imagination and issues a challenge: 'Could God be speaking to me?'
Helen Roseveare
Dr Helen Roseveare was born in 1925. She was converted during her medical studies at Cambridge University through the ministry of the Christian Union. In 1951 she joined WEC International, and served in the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of Congo)as a medical missionary. During the Simba rebellion of the 1960s she was one of many missionaries captured and mistreated by the rebel soldiers. Dr Roseveare continued to have a productive ministry in her retirement, and died in 2016.
