- Title
- Rescued Congo missionary recounts experience.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: PC-30549 RESCUED CONGO MISSIONARY RECOUNTS EXPERIENCE LEOPOLDVILLE, Congo -- Details of a narrow escape from death are recounted at Leopoldville, Congo, by Miss Ruth Hege, 58, of Wellington, Ohio, who was hit in the arm during an arrow attack that killed her companion, Miss Irene Ferrel, 42, of Jerome, Idaho. 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)

- Slain Congo missionary's sister and family rescued.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: P-30535 SLAIN CONGO MISSIONARY'S SISTER AND FAMILY RESCUED LEOPOLDVILLE, Congo -- One of two Baptist missionary sisters died and another was saved from Communist-inspired terrorists in the Kwilu Province of the Congo. Miss Irene Ferrel of Jerome, Idaho, died when a poisoned arrow hit her in the face. Her sister, Mrs. Winifred Grings, right, escaped injury in the nightmarish week. Mrs. Grings, shown here with her husband, Robert, and children, and Miss Ferrel both were missionaries for Baptist Mid-Missions of Cleveland, Ohio, an independent agency supported by the General Conference of Regular Baptist Churches. The Grings, together with three other missionaries at the Iwungu mission station -- 50 miles from the station where Miss Ferrel died -- were flown by United Nations helicopter to Leopoldville. The Grings children, left to right, are Becky, 8; Danny, 6; and Ruth Ann, 11. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-1E-64-NBM)
