Tinted lantern slide showing a large gathering of Congolese men and women. Two European missionaries can be seen at the centre of the image, a man and a woman. The woman wears a smart dress, and the man wears a pith helmet and shirt. Some Congolese men also wear pith helmets, suggesting that they are native evangelists.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.
