Heroes of Faith

By Rob Medland and Martin McGahon

“Doctor Livingstone, I presume?” was Henry Stanley’s famous greeting, which now has its place firmly in British history. But more important are the exploits of David Livingstone and the work he did in spreading the Gospel, and studying nature. His exploration and discoveries of 30 years in Central and Southern Africa made him one of the great pioneers of the 19th century. He was a living hero during his own age, and he was a vitally important trailblazer for the Gospel.
