The Man in the Green Jeep

Who will rescue Chico's starving village? Life is caving in for the family of Chico, a young boy living in a poor, rural community in Honduras.

Chico is sent to the other side of the mountains to try to save his town of Reitoca. There he meets believers in Jesus, who send a man in a green Jeep to help. Not only does the man bring Reitoca food but also the Bread of Life the story of Jesus. Missionary author Viola Palmer gives a captivating glance into childen's lives and culture in Central America. Enter the world of Chico and his friends Rafael, Jose, Marvin, and Calvin, the bully-turned-nice and their experiences. Learn about missions through the work of the man in the green Jeep.
