Alexander Mackay Alexander Mackay was a highly-skilled young man dedicated to the Lord and His mission field. He was one of the first missionaries to Uganda. He faced the triple issues of slavery, pagan idolatry, and cannibalism. He patiently labored in this land and ultimately was martyred for his God. He willingly gave his life so that others might hear of the True Life, Jesus Christ. What an example! James Hannington James Hannington longed to be a missionary and follow in the footsteps of Alexander Mackay. He faced hardship after hardship, but his zeal never failed. He wanted to live his life on the mission field and to die for his God. Ultimately, that is exactly what happened.
