  Looking for a great adventure? This is the class for you! Join us on an exciting journey with some of the greatest men and women to ever live. We’ll walk with these missionaries 100 miles through the mountains of China to save orphans during the war. We will suffer 80 days in the African jungle praying for healing so we can share the gospel with unreached people. We will sit down at a breakfast table with absolutely nothing to eat, praying in full confidence that God will come through for us. We will learn about the immense danger they faced and see God’s miraculous provision for them. We will learn what character traits made them so strong and how we can build these traits in our own hearts. We will taste some of the foods from the nation each missionary served in, dress as they dressed, and other fun activities. This class can be used for multiple “electives” as we will cover Geography, Bible, and cultural history. All ages are welcome. Workbook can be modified to suit your child.
