Trip To Find Where Livingstone's Heart Was Buried (Chitambo Village)

Last week in Church history I taught on the life of missionaries including David Livingstone. I was so inspired by Stanley's account, that watching Livingstone, he saw the spirit of the early disciples who "forsook all and followed Him".
I was also touched by the men who burried his heart under a tree in Chitambo and carried his body over 1,000 miles to the coast, and then to England. How one life could so move these men so far, by love, is really amazing.


So we decided to find the place!...



Melinda and I and the kids embarked on the journey which was 6.5 hours from Kitwe, traveling around part of the Congo, to the East and then North.


The experience was quite moving and I made this video. I was very inspired by it watching the scenes again. Enjoy!...
