I grew up listening to missionary stories carried across oceans, and then shared from my father's pulpit and around my mother's Sunday table. These stories inspired a passion in me for people of diverse cultures who needed to hear the gospel of Jesus. When I heard the account of how the gospel first came to the Marshall Islands from my dear friends and partners in ministry, Pastors Raymond and Irene Kemem, something in my heart jolted awake. I heard how it was children who funded the building of the little ship, Morning Star. They didn't wait to become adults to affect nations for the gospel. They raised the funds themselves. Many of those children went hungry and gave their bread money to insure that Jesus, the Bread of Eternal Life sailed through Micronesian seas to islands where Jesus had never been heard. This is a true story of when the Morning Star voyaged from Boston to the atoll of Ebon, Marshall Islands where the gospel was first heard December of 1857. This story honors children who gave. And is written to engage them and those adults who read it to them.

I have paid for the initial publishing costs--but now want to give the opportunity to place a copy of this in the hands of many children who may be inspired to give the word impossible into King Jesus' hands by which He turns impossible into abundantly possible. The funds donated are not for my personal gain--I have given this to Jesus as a way to reach more children with the gospel. It is my desire to sail the gospel of Jesus into the hands of children everywhere. You can make it possible by helping me cover the printing costs.

Please join me in bringing this story to children.
