Missionaries for Christ

Invite your middle and high school students to step into the adventurous lives of faithful men and women who dedicated everything to proclaiming Christ to the nations. Missionaries for Christ, part of the inspiring Legends of Faith series by homeschool author Marilyn Boyer, shares the remarkable true stories of those who answered God’s call to go—no matter the cost.

Through engaging biographies and vivid illustrations, readers will encounter missionaries who relied completely on prayer and God’s provision as they took the gospel to unreached peoples. Their courage, faith, and perseverance remind us that God can use ordinary lives for extraordinary purposes.
