Snaking through the heart of Africa is the Zaire River. From its beginnings as converging mountain streams, the Zaire reaches across the continent, twice crossing the Equator before spilling into the Atlantic Ocean 2,900 miles later. THE LAPSLEY SAGA tells the story of Samuel N. Lapsley and the crews of two paddle wheelers named for him, who, like this powerful river, forever influenced the lives of those in central Africa. In 1891 Samuel N. Lapsley journeyed up the Zaire River and its main tributary, the Kasai, to establish the Luebo mission station and the American Presbyterian Congo Mission. Lapsley died of blackwater fever two years later, but in those two years Lapsley's devotion to his work and faith in God branded his name on the African landscape.

Providence House Publishers

This is a new edition of the beloved story of Dr. Eugene Roland Kellersberger. His leprosy patients called him "Doctor Not Afraid" because he had no fear of touching them. This adventurous biography defines Kellersberger's background, his marriage, and the hazardous journey during the grim days of World War I that took him to his chosen medical missionary field in the Congo. He endured family illness and tragedy, all the while dedicating himself to his practice. He battled on behalf of victims of Hansen's Disease for many years with a pioneering spirit and a deep faith in God.
