After a miraculous escape, Kaboo ran through the jungle until he reached a plantation. There he learned about God, prayer, and Jesus. He became a Christian and changed his name to Samuel Morris.
Samuel longed to become a missionary and the share the gospel with others who had not heard it. So he set off for New York alone to find a teacher he had heard about. On the ship to New York, he experienced persecution for his faith from rough and mean sailors. But his inner strength convinced the ship’s captain and other crew members to trust in Jesus!
Even before Samuel studied to become a missionary, he led people in America to Jesus. He began attending Taylor University in Indiana, where he encouraged other students to take their faith seriously.
Sadly, Samuel got very sick and had to spend a long time in the hospital. “I have trusted in God all this way, I trust him now,” said Samuel. He was ready to go to heaven.
Samuel died when he was 20 years old. His simple faith inspired many people to become missionaries and to reach people with the gospel as Samuel had longed to do.
