An Urgent Macedonian Call from the CONGO RIVER MISSION

with Dr. Peter Hammond & Tershia de Klerk

INTO THE HEART of DARKNESS...

The Congo must be one of the most difficult mission fields in Africa. The logistical complications, vast distances, endemic lawlessness and corruption, frustrate any travelers. When the great explorer, Henry Morton Stanley, travelled down the Congo River in the 19 th century, he encountered aggressive tribesmen and violent cannibals, and had over 60 battles – fire fights – to fight off attackers, many of whom were cannibals and slave traders. The Congo River inspired the original Heart of Darkness novel.
