The medical missionary, serving under the Evangelical Covenant Church of America, was captured when he refused to leave his hospital in the northern Congo. His wife (right) and children, Wayne, 9, and Lynette, 6, (in the foreground) reached safety. The doctor’s threatened execution, after being charged as a spy by rebels, was delayed for one week after the U.S. State Department and churchmen in America urged Kenya Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta, as chairman of a Special Organization of African Unity Committee, to intervene in his behalf. The Carlson family is shown here with Philip Littleford of Baltimore, Md., a medical student in Africa on a fellowship, and Joann LeVahn of Minneapolis, Minn., a staff nurse at the mission hospital.

- Text transcribed from caption: P-30566 CONGO MISSIONARIES SAFELY HOME TALLMADGE, Ohio -- The clothes on their back and a souvenir spear were all the Rev. and Mrs. Harold Mullins and their four children could bring out of the Kwilu Province in the Congo, where anti-government terrorists burned their mission station and threatened their lives. The Baptist couple, with their 16-month-old baby, hid upstairs in their house but fire forced Mr. Mullins to knock out a window and jump. The baby was dropped to him as Mrs. Mullins also jumped to safety. The clergyman was knocked down and hit with a hammer in a brief fracas with terrorists. None of the youngsters was harmed. The life of another missionary was saved, Mr. Mullins related, when a former native Bible student jumped in front of a terrorist aiming a rifle. United Nations helicopters evacuated the group.

Both women were assigned to the Baptist Mid-Missions station at Mangungu, in the heart of the area attacked by anti-government terrorists. Miss Hege, later evacuated by helicopter, was left for dead after being struck by the arrow. In a transcontinental telephone conversation with Baptist Mid-Missions headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, the veteran of 30 years of missionary service, many of them in Africa, said she planned to return to the U.S. "There is no future here," she said. "Conditions are chaotic...I don't want to return to the Congo." Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-NY-1E-64-NBM)
