Summary: 19 stories filled with God’s care for orphans, widows and children from around the world. Verses from Scripture in every story show how God’s truth applies to many different aspects of life. You will find what out what happened to Chem from Korea after his mother died. Why did Soyung’s mother put him in a canoe and shove him out into the current alone? How did the Lord make use of Sugia’s jewels? Each story is skillfully written from the child’s perspective. For example, you don’t find out how Dr. Franklin went to help Roomoosh without finding him accompanied by his son Don through the howling blizzard. As a result, children can see other children throughout the world with their missionary parents or as they struggle growing up in heathen cultures. These stories are set in at least a dozen different countries on four continents, including India, China, South Africa and many more countries. Littlecultural notes are found in the margins where they will help children in their understanding of the far-away places where other children live. After all, do you know what a kraal is? whether to step on or bite into a jelebi? how many islands there are in the Pacific?

Message: God's care and faithfulness and the need to take the message of His love to every corner of the globe.

Other: Each story is introduced with a full-colour illustration as well as pictures throughout the story. Originally published by as Missionary Stories and More Missionary Stories (1948 and 1951)
