Summary

Description
English: Group with John McKittrick, Congo, ca. 1889-1891
Tinted lantern slide showing Congo Balolo Mission missionaries and Congolese teenagers, boys and girls. In Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo).
  • Two young Congolese men stand to the back of the image, and may be native evangelists or converts. The Congolese girls wear smock dresses, and the boys wear shirts with darkk trim and shorts, 'uniform' provided by the Congo Balolo Mission, indicating that this may be a group from a mission school or institution.
  • The tall, standing man with moustache and arms crossed in the image is John McKittrick, a former missionary of the Livingstone Inland Mission (which first arrived in Congo in 1878), and one of the pioneers of the later Congo Balolo Mission. He was to die from disease in the Congo in 1891.
  • The male missionary with the beard is another pioneer of the Congo Balolo Mission, Peter Whytock, who also died from disease.
  • The female missionaries may be Mrs Whtock and Mrs Dora McKittrick.
  • This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission Regions Beyond Missionary Union after 1900.
