Take kids on an exciting adventure exploring the global church!
Kids will gain enthusiasm for going to church on Sundays as they discover that they and their local fellowship are part of something much bigger: a family of people worshiping God all around the world!
Join Tim Challies as he guides you on this illustrated journey through 10 countries. Your children will be delighted to meet fictionalized kids just like themselves as they discover…
Each positive, eye-opening visit to another country is based on Challies’ own travel experience and conversations with local church leaders.
Use the included prompts to start conversations about the global church as a family or Sunday-school class.

I loved the concept of this book! I first heard about Tim Challies' journey around the world via a sermon and was excited to see there was a kids' book about it! Our kids' worlds are so small and they (and we adults) forget that there are Christians all over the world doing church together! I love to be able to show them different locations and cultures and how God's Church is full of all nations and tribes and that there are lots of ways to worship the One True God!

We had this book on our list for ages after reading the adult book From the Rising of the Sun. We thought it would be excellent to help our children have a global view of the church and see how God's love is for everyone in all places at all times.
We used this book in our church during global mission month and also plan to return to it many times at home, particularly as a prayer tool during family ...Bible times to help us pray for brothers & sisters throughout the world.

My son (4) and I LOVED this book! He so enjoyed learning about other countries and cultures and how other people worship Jesus like us yet differently. We read one church a day and try to do something like the kids in that church did each day. Whether it is all praying out loud at once or sharing a meal off one giant plate, he feels connected to other believers around the world. I think it also opened his eyes to the potential suffering of others in a way that wasn’t scary or harmful. I would recommend this book to ...every Christian family out there as a beautiful reminder that our church is not limited to the people we worship with in a building down the street but to God‘s people everywhere.
