From rural Manitoba, Ben and Helen Eidse were the first missionaries sent to the heart of Congo. The Eidses and their African partners established 80 churches, ran 24 clinics, delivered the leprosy cure, and translated the Bible. Amid revolution and disability, the Eidses raised four daughters. 

Helen was a nursing graduate of Grace Hospital.  Ben is Chancellor of Steinbach Bible College.  Faith Eidse is the author of the award-wining Voices of the Apalachicola.
