March 2013, Christendom celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer and missionary (1813-1873) who devoted a lifetime to the exposure and abolition of the slave trade. It is also the 180th anniversary of the death of William Wilberforce, the English Evangelical Member of Parliament who, after tirelessly striving for this cause, moved the British Parliament to abolish slavery throughout the Empire, including South Africa. The events of 1834 were a tremendous Christian victory, a triumph of the power of God through the Holy Spirit.
