Summary: For over 35 years, a quiet Pennsylvanian, Carl K. Becker, M.D., served at the Oicha mission hospital in Congo's vast Ituri forest, devoting his life to saving lives. This book is the story of the day-to-day life of a missionary doctor; of the natives' fears that must be overcome before they will trust "the white witch doctor"; of the barbaric superstitions from which not even the ablest physician can always save his patient; of the discoveries Dr. Becker made in the treatment of leprosy in spite of inadequate laboratory equipment. Above all, this book answers the question that has haunted every Christian since the martyrdom of so many missionaries in Congo: Was it all in vain? Here the answer is clearly given. This book records how the Congolese themselves begged Dr. Becker to stay at his post. It records some aspects of the anti-missionary onslaught that have not been discussed before; and it concludes on a note of hope. AMAZON
