Teaching kids about missionaries - a list of books and websites from DoNotDepart.com

One of our favorite things to do as a family is sit around the living room and read aloud together. Stories, whether truth or fiction, draw us in. Inspired by courage, cautioned by wrong choices, we absorb stories and find in them material for our own lives.

This month at Do Not Depart, we are sharing stories of godly women who have led inspiring lives. We decided to compile some resources you can use with your children to help them be inspired as well.

Here are a few ideas for ways you can teach kids about missionaries – men, women and children who have chosen to dedicate their lives to spreading the gospel. We have included biographies as well as resources to teach children about areas where missionaries serve.
