Arctic missions, perilous sea journeys, and the steady work of faith in Greenland and Labrador. This nonfiction volume chronicles the United Brethren’s mission in northern lands, detailing voyages, hardships, and the ongoing effort to bring Christian teaching to Esquimaux communities.

Spanning dramatic ship passages, late-night gales, and encounters with ice-bound coastlines, the narrative centers on the courage and devotion of the missionaries and their Esquimaux companions. It also presents a historical look at how mission stations grew, how local life shaped those efforts, and how faith was carried across a frozen world.
