The life story of Robert Moffat, the South African missionary, captivates readers who value noble deeds and patient effort. His life was marked by dangers and triumphs, courageously confronting wild beasts on the African plains and engaging with fierce chiefs, under whose warriors’ spears and clubs countless lives had been lost. The narrative stirs sympathy with accounts of sickness, suffering, hunger, and persistent disappointments spanning years. Yet, it inspires gratitude for the unwavering love that drove his efforts to bring the Gospel to those in darkness. Moffat’s work transformed lives, clothing and enlightening minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel. His story stands as a testament to heroic Christian faith, where even life itself is held secondary to the mission of bringing sinners to the love of Jesus Christ.

Robert Moffat: A Legacy of Faith and Courage

Such a man was Robert Moffat, whose memoir is presented here with the hope that his strong faith will fortify ours, his quiet courage will inspire perseverance in doing good, and his deliverance from many dangers will lead us to trust the One who never abandons His own. Through Moffat’s life, especially young readers can see that true godliness enhances manhood, glorifying and ennobling it in the face of evil and silencing the wicked.

Sources and Acknowledgments

This brief sketch of Rev. Dr. Moffat’s life draws heavily from prior works, particularly Robert and Mary Moffat by their son, John S. Moffat, and Robert Moffat’s own book, Missionary Labours and Scenes in South Africa. Other valuable references include The Missionary Magazine, The Chronicle of the London Missionary Society, reports from various missionary societies, and A Life’s Labours in South Africa. For readers seeking more detailed accounts, the first two sources are highly recommended.
