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.

“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
