The Life and Death of a Builder in the Congo March 23, 2002
Dorothy M. Smith (Roanoke, VA United States)
Burleigh Law did not envision himself as a Christian martyr. He simply wanted to share his building and mechanical skills where they were needed in the days of the Belgian Congo. He and his wife were appointed as missionaries by the Methodist Church and went to the Congo in 1950. After building a hospital and schools, Burleigh Law was caught up in the events of the Revolution and killed by rebels in 1964. This is his story written by his widow, Virginia Law. She gives the reader many pictures of everyday life in the Congo, from the humerous to the heartbreaking. This is a wonderful read for anyone interested in the progress of the Christian Church in Africa and the effect of missionary work in Africa.
