Huge statue’s mission story

Mike Beresford

A new statue called ‘Antelope’ has been unveiled on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in London.

The artwork depicts Malawian pastor John Chilembwe standing next to a white pastor, John Chorley (see photo below, bottom left). Chilembwe came to faith in Christ in 1893 and was baptised on 17 July that year after getting to know Joseph Booth of the Zambesi Industrial Mission (now Zambesi Mission).
