In the early part of the nineteenth century, Africa was called the dark continent. One man s passion for Christ would challenge that view. Dr. David Livingstone took the Gospel to Africa in word and deed. As a medical doctor he treated the sick, earning him the necessary trust and respect to share the love of Christ which many Africans freely embraced. Then Livingstone turned his attention to exploration, seeing this work as much a spiritual calling as traditional missionary work. Facing danger and sickness he forged routes deep into the African interior, sparking the imagination of many who would follow. Hailed as one of the greatest European explorers of all time, his commitment and eventual martyrdom helped bring an end to the slave trade and opened a continent to Christianity.
