Livingstone life work as a missionary, explorer, and advocate against slavery had huge impacts on both [[Europe]] and [[Africa]].  In 1893, Britain established its first colony 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 European knowledge of African geography about one million square miles, and his maps and information was used to help bring the [[Bible]] to Africans. The effects of this can be seen today. As of 1990, ten modern African countries in which Livingstone traveled, with a combined population of 140 million (125 million of that African-born), 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<ref> Believers Web, “David Livingstone,” http://www.believersweb.org/view.cfm?ID=74</ref>. 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>
