I recently received an email at our business site from Ken Dudley who will be traveling the sea with his wife and wanted to get the word out to homeschoolers. I was a bit doubtful, but after checking out the site, think this looks like a wonderful opportunity. Here is a bit about the “purpose” of their journey.

This could be a wonderful summer project! Check out the website here.

Wings of the Morning is an interactive online missionary Journey.

Our Purpose is to provide a positive Christian learning environment on the internet. As we attempt to sail "Wings of the Morning", our desire is to create a more personal understanding of the world around us for students both young and old.

Reading about far away places in a text book brings a knowledge of a people and culture. To correspond and interact with a friend that is physically there brings an understanding and a desire to learn more.

As we continue to sail, we will stop along the way and spend time with missionaries and local indigenous pastors, helping where needed ..... fixing a roof or teaching vacation bible school, all the while, interactively sharing the experience online with anyone that has a desire to learn, grow, and build new relationships with people around the globe.

You can directly e-mail me on the boat with questions. You can look at photos that are posted weekly. Students will learn geography, navigation, oceanography, biology and weather, then get a Christian perspective of life's everyday hardships aboard the boat through the entries in the ships log.

Our purpose and desire is to inspire young men and women to become missionaries for His kingdom around the globe.

God has given us a wonderful world just beyond our front door. As Christians, it is our responsibility to go, teach, learn and grow.

Matthew 5:16 tells us "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father, who is in heaven".
