He returned to home, in 1864, and began publishing material on the horrors of the slave trade. After returning to Africa in 1865, Livingston set out on a personal obsession of his, finding the source of the [[Nile River]]. During his time exploring his correspondence with Europe was cut short and word spread that he had died. It was later found out that his crew had deserted him, and lied about his death. An [[American]] Newsman for the [[New York Herald]], [[Henry Stanley]], was later sent out to find Livingston.  Some historians think that the motivation for Stanley’s search was to find Livingstone to pursue fortune. After eight months of searching Stanley finely found Livingstone. The two explored [[Lake Tanganyika]] together, then Stanley returned and filed a report of his exploration. Stanley came to Africa as an atheist but was converted to Christianity, he recalled his experience with Livingstone, “It was not Livingstone’s preaching that converted me, it was Livingstone’s living”. During Livingstone time exploring he had gotten ill, Stanley left him with supplies, when he returned to America. Although Livingston was offered to travel back to Europe, he refused. In April of 1873, Livingston wrote, “I am pale  bloodless, and weak from bleeding profusely ever since the 31st of March last, an artery gives off a copious stream, and takes away my strength<ref>Sam Wellman, Heroes of the Faith, “David Livingston”, Barbour Publishing, pg. 200</ref>.” On April 27, 1773 Livingston died while praying. Livingstone heart was buried in Africa under a mvula tree, the rest of his body was buried in [[Westminster Abbey]], on April 18, 1874, after being flown back to England by the HMS Vulture. In 1913, the [[Royal Geographical Society]] held a meeting to commemorate Livingstone, they stated, “In the course of his wonderful career, Livingston served three masters. As a missionary he was the sincere and zealous servant of God. As an explorer he was the indefatigable servant of science. As the denouncer of the slave trade he was the fiery servant of humanity<ref> Janet and Geoff Benge, Christian Heroes: Then & Now, “David Livingston,”pg. 214</ref>.”

==Impact==

Livingstone life work as a missionary, explorer, and advocate against slavery had huge impacts on both Europe and Africa.  In 1893, Brittan made its first colonel in Africa, the British Central Africa Protectorate( today known as the [[Republic of Malawi]]), Livingstone’s work was instrumental in this effort. He added to the known world about one million square miles, his maps and information was used to help bring the [[Bible]] to the lost natives. This can even be seen today, in 1990 ten modern African countries in which Livingstone traveled had a population of 140 million, of that, 125 million that are native,75 million are [[Christians]]<ref>Sam Wellman, Heroes of the Faith, “David Livingston”, Barbour Publishing, pg. 204</ref>." . Livingstone efforts fighting the slave trade later help lead to its abolishment. Livingston’s father in law, Robert Moffat, stated after Livingstone’s death, “He Sacrificed everything-home, Christian intercourse, lucrative prospects, and earthly honors, for one grand object, to carry the Gospel of the Son of God to the heart of Africa<ref>Sam Wellman, Heroes of the Faith, “David Livingston”, Barbour Publishing, pg. 203</ref>."
