Missionary Biographies for kids

One of the classes I teach for our local homeschool group is Christian Missionaries and Heroes. Last week there were only four students in the class but they they enjoyed what we studied. We learned about Adoniram and Ann Judson, the first foreign bound Missionaries from America. I will teach again this week and there are about fifteen students in that class.

                                                  
The books we base our lessons are are from YWAM (Youth With a Mission) and then From Jerusalem  to Irian Jira usually sums it up for us and has pictures included in the pages. Christian Heroes: Then and Now  I have an atlas with me so we can look at what part of the world they ministered to. In Adorniram and Ann's case it was Burma which is now Myanmar which is east of India next to Thailand.



I just received some of the unit study books by the same company. With my
busy schedule I needed something to help me bring some cohesiveness to the
lesson.
 
                                                   

This is the description of the biography on their page:
As America's first foreign missionary, Adoniram Judson spent thirty-eight years working in Burma, then one of the most hostile countries on earth. Judson was ignored, mocked, beaten, and tortured, yet he never lost sight of his goal to translate the Bible into the Burmese language. Today, over 150 years after his death, his remains the only translation of the Bible in Burmese. (1788-1850)

This best-selling, missionary biography series - Christian Heroes: Then & Now - chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.
