Assignment Philippines (Missionary Kids Book 2)

Join the Hope family for part two of their adventures as missionaries when Missionary Aviation Assistance Program reassigns them from Nigeria to the Philippines. Fourteen-year-old Derek Hope is the most surprised of the four when he meets a group of kids that is much larger than the one he belongs to, MKs, short for missionary kids. It seems like MBs, short for military brats, have the same sort of expectations placed on them.
And there are thousands of them throughout central Luzon, the Hopes' new home. Now twelve, Jolie Hope continues her flying lessons with her father Doug. She learns just as much about life as being a pilot when the two fly a six-seater from Africa halfway around the world to their new home. The one who felt the initial calling to leave behind the security his job as an airline pilot and hometown in a small Midwestern city had offered, Doug Hope, finds out his duties of ferrying missionaries and delivering mail, supplies, and medicine can be not only be demanding but dangerous as well.
Still the glue holding the Hopes together, Beverly Hope is stretched even more. She goes from home schooling her two children to teaching an entire class at Manila Christian School, home for many of the children whose parents are stationed at some of the 7, 000 islands where the friendliest people on Earth make their home, the Philippines.
