David Livingstone’s Prayer – “Send me anywhere”

I am greatly challenged by reading biographies of the great Christian leaders of the past. Until about a year and a half ago, I had only a cursory understanding of the life of missionary Dr. David Livingstone. What a challenge it was to read and listen to several biographies of this pioneer missionary to Africa. God used my study of his life to give me a greater burden for taking the gospel to the unreached people groups around the world. I highly recommend that all Christian parents introduce their children to these great leaders of the past.

Here is a suggestion for an easy to read biography that is excellent. It is available in paperback, Kindle, audio CD, and audible.Click on the book below to see this book on Amazon. Click “look inside” to read the beginning of the book.

 


EMU’s President Emeritus, Dr. George Jensen, preached a popular message all across the country on David Livingstone’s prayer.

“God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.” ― David Livingstone
