In 2002, author Dan Schuch was asked to speak at the funeral of a dear friend, a missionary who had died suddenly, leaving behind a wife and two young kids.

Designed for use at home or in Sunday School, this book provides a positive way for kids to support missionaries. A portion of the book's proceeds will help fund a college account for the children of the missionary who inspired the book.
