BRIEF HISTORY• Nebobongo Evangelical
Hospital, was started in 1950’s by British missionary, Helen Roseveare, under WEC-Int’l (Worldwide Evangel for Christ). In 1964, rebels attacked the hospital, and Dr. Roseveare was arrested and brutally raped. Years later, she was able to return to DRC and forgive those who had physically violated her, without touching her soul. HELEN ROSEVEARE, PIONEER

CARES is a Christian Asset management corporation. It will receive donations, provide receipts for tax purposes and forward the funds to the Batanenis’ ministry in the DRC.
Donation DetailsChecks should be made out to CARES with a notation on the memo line in the lower left hand corner that the donation is for one of the following:1. “Bataneni’s building fund” to rehabilitate one of the old mission houses for the Bataneni family to live in (the most pressing need right now, so it will be ready for their move in the summer of 2011). Estimated cost $17,000.00 (U.S.)2. Bataneni family personal support (to supplement their income after they move to Nebobongo)3. Nebobongo Evangelical Hospital ministry supportIt is very important to make the notation on the memo line, since CARES manages donations and finances for other individuals and ministries.
For a end of year giving that will be counted as a 2010 donation, it needs to be received by CARES by December 30. Checks in the mail, received after that date will be credited as 2011 donations.
