CHRIST the MOTIVATOR: “For the love of Christ compels us” (2 Cor 5:14). Dr Helen Roseveare, medical missionary to the Congo, met the Lord personally at the age of 20 during a student retreat. She gave her testimony on the final evening, and Bible teacher Graham Scroggie wrote Philippians 3:10 in her Bible, and told her: “Tonight you’ve entered into the first part of the verse, ‘That I may know Him.’ This is only the beginning, and there’s a long journey ahead. My prayer for you is that you will go on through the verse to know ‘the power of His resurrection’ and also, God willing, one day perhaps, ‘the fellowship of His sufferings’.” That’s exactly what happened in the horrors of the Simba Rebellion in 1964. Yet for all that she suffered, her testimony was this: “Christianity in the West today says we must have a bigger church, a bigger car, a better suit. Once Christians fall out of love with that and in love with Jesus,…they will become missionaries simply because they love Him.”
