Jonathan’s big adventure

Introducing...

Young Jonathan is moving to Italy!

Jonathan loves his life in Dallas but one day his parents tell him they will move to Italy to follow God’s call to serve the people there. It’s a time full of conflicting emotions for young Jonathan as he comes to terms with the move. When he arrives, there will be more surprises coming fast and furious. How will he cope with all of these changes?

Tobin worked closely with his niece, Methinee, to write a story based on her family’s experience of accepting God’s call to serve abroad. Families will enjoy reading and discussing the challenges of moving away from the comfort of the familiar and trusting God to step out and serve in new communities.

Proceeds from book sales will be used for their ministry in Italy.

You can support this ministry by heading over to our Kickstarter campaign starting in October.

May: Hurrah! Bonnie Zhong has agreed to be the illustrator and is starting to create the character sketches.
