The Call of the Congo is a compelling firsthand account of missionary life and travel in Central Africa during the early twentieth century. Written by Herbert Smith, the narrative provides a detailed look at the landscapes, cultures, and challenges encountered within the Belgian Congo. The work explores the intersection of faith and exploration as it chronicles the efforts to establish missions and provide medical and educational support to local communities along the Congo River.

Smith captures the spirit of the era, offering readers a window into the geographical vastness of the region and the complexities of colonial-era missionary work. From the rhythms of daily life in remote villages to the logistical hurdles of navigating dense jungles and wide waterways, the book serves as both a historical record and a personal testimony of devotion. It highlights the cultural exchanges and the profound impact of the African environment on those who answered the call to serve there.
