Inspire kids to follow their dreams as they discover the true story of Betsey Stockton, who, despite being born enslaved, pursued her goal of being a missionary.
When young Betsey joined a missionary voyage to Hawaii, everyone was shocked. "A single woman, who was born enslaved, going to the mission field? How extraordinary!"
But that's exactly what Betsey did. Follow her adventurous five-month journey across the Pacific Ocean: a journey of laughter, tears, prayer and even a newborn life!
This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Betsey Stockton (c. 1798-1865) is part of the Do Great Things for God series, which is designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
