Description

National Bestseller Christian Children’s Book

Going on a mission trip for Jesus can be great fun! This real-life journey to El Salvador will help your young children understand that serving Him means meeting new friends and building relationships. Going to new places can bring fear and uncertainty but this vividly illustrated story will help young children discover new ways to help and love others.

Through her vivid illustrations 16-year-old, Madeline shares her own mission trip to El Salvador and her opportunity to serve our Lord. Text by Carolyn complete the story and message to inspire and comfort our future missionaries. A special section showcases photos and description of her mission trip’s work and service with the members of La Puerta Abierta (The Open Door Church) in Santa Ana, El Salvador.

Our churches’ mission trips demonstrate ways to serve others across the county and around the globe. This book helps the younger children learn what their older siblings and church family are doing and how they can use these same teachings to serve here at home.

This captivating story is helpful as a Church School or home school lesson or a Children’s message when others are commissioned for mission work.
