    One of the best ways to be a missionary is through example by living a good life and caring for those around you, as Livingston did. Winning that one chief for God would be like only getting one kill in COD but having several assists.

      I'd like to see a video about Genrikh Yagoda or Lazar Kaganovich
      I wonder why Simon hasn't, maybe he's afraid to draw attention to their ethnic background and the horrible crimes they commited.
      Some scholars estimate Yagoda could have killed as much as 20 million people.
      Lazar Kaganovich was the main architect of the Holodomor, were they purposefully starved 4 million Ukrainians to death.
      Then there's also Idel Jakobson, Salomon Morel, Józef Różański, Anatol Fejgin, Stefan Michnik and Ana Pauker(aka Stalin in a Skirt).
      And also Isia Davidovich Berg, who invented the gas van in the 1920's.
      Why hasn't Simon done videos about these men?
      I suppose "don't bite the hand that feeds", is what Simon is thinking.

    I am a distant relative of David Livingstone, he is my great great great grandfather, I’ve always been told minor details about his life and hadn’t known much, it wasn’t until I recently that I’ve wanted to learn more about him and my heritage, this was a great video and u shed some light on his life and his goals. You have a great way of explaining things and your accent makes me want to keep listening, it’s soothing compared to the harsh Australian accent I’m used to.
    Great video mate, thank you for making it. Look forward to more

      I'd like to see a video about Genrikh Yagoda or Lazar Kaganovich
      I wonder why Simon hasn't, maybe he's afraid to draw attention to their ethnic background and the horrible crimes they commited.
      Some scholars estimate Yagoda could have killed as much as 20 million people.
      Lazar Kaganovich was the main architect of the Holodomor, were they purposefully starved 4 million Ukrainians to death.
      Then there's also Idel Jakobson, Salomon Morel, Józef Różański, Anatol Fejgin, Stefan Michnik and Ana Pauker(aka Stalin in a Skirt).
      And also Isia Davidovich Berg, who invented the gas van in the 1920's.
      Why hasn't Simon done videos about these men?
      I suppose "don't bite the hand that feeds", is what Simon is thinking.
      The people who own youtube are of the same ethnic background and they might take offense.

    I live in Livingstone's hometown. As a kid I didn't think much of him despite attending the school named after him as well as the church and the frequent visits to the visitor centre that occupies the grounds next to the house where he grew up. But over the years, I have become quite proud of the fact that someone from this town, a blip on a map, has made quite an impact and is still being remembered today 🙂
