I chatted with Sarita Holzmann a few months ago about literature and encouraging our kids to have a love for good books. While we chatted we started to get on the topic of missions. This is a HUGE topic in our home as my oldest is feeling led to the mission field. I wanted to have Sarita back on the podcast just to chat about this topic. We are going to be talking about raising global-minded kids with a heart for the world. Particularly, missions and how we can raise mission-minded kids.

Sarita Holzmann is the founder of Sonlight Curriculum, speaker, writer, curriculum developer, missions advocate, beloved wife, veteran homeschool mom, and active grandmother.

Some of the topics Sarita and I discuss include:

• What is your experience with missions and mission work?
• Why do you think teaching a grand worldview is important?
• What are some ways we as parents can raise mission-minded kids?
• What would you say to a parent whose child has told them they feel led into the mission field?
• What are some ways we as parents can prepare our children for this and what courses of study would you recommend?
• How can books help expand a child's horizons, growing a big world perspective?
• Why is it important for our kids to have an understanding of world history and world cultures? Particularly if they have no desire to leave the US
• What are the Benefits of a literature-based education in raising global-minded children
• What does literature add to the study of the world?
