James Johnston (missionary)
James Johnston (1851–1921) was a British missionary, early photographer, doctor and explorer. He created his own mission at Browns Town in Jamaica. He took six Jamaicans to help him on his journey across central Africa from west to east to cross the continent and rediscover David Livingstone's mission. Johnston's book and photographs record the journey and his observations on many things but particularly overly ambitious missionaries. Johnston later created slideshows to market Jamaica to potential tourists.
==Life==
Johnston was born in Scotland in 1851. He had read of the exploits of David Livingstone and he attended his funeral in 1873.〔 Johnston arrived in Jamaica in December 1874 because he thought it would be good for his lungs and it was. He broke away from the Baptist church and he started his Jamaican Evangelical mission in 1876. Johnston created nine churches but the base of his medical mission and his religious assemblies was in Brown's Town.
Johnston introduced new tunes and he would punctuate the service with unplanned singing. He would tour the area on Tuesdays and Fridays handing out prescriptions and his wife would follow turning the prescriptions into the required medicines.〔 Johnston became the political representative for St Ann's Parish before he left to explore Africa.
