David Livingstone Christian Missionary and Explorer - What Good Men Do

I'm David Baxter with the story of David Livingstone, the great explorer of Africa and a Christian missionary who was described as a zealous servant of God, an indefatigable servant of science, a denouncer of the slave trade and a fiery servant of humanity. In his exploration of Africa he went where no white man had gone before, especially in his objective to find the source of the Nile. At one stage, needing to return to England, he travelled up the Zambezi River in a small, totally inadequate riverboat along the east coast of Africa to Zanzibar before heading east to Bombay in India where he took another boat to England. As I was growing up in Scotland my imagination was fired by Livingstone's exploits. He is one of my boyhood heroes. He was always in the forefront of helping the indigenous African people escape boor slave traders and the devastating scourge of malaria and the tsetse fly. He loved the native tribesmen and they in turn loved him. Livingstone was obsessed with doing good. He stood for what was right and lifted the condition of others.
