Oh no!  How will the men get home?  Their boat has a great big hole.

They land on an island.  Here is a good idea.  Get big leaves.  Spell a word on the beach.  Hello, help!

Pray: Thank God for sending help to the lost men.  Thank Him for rescuing us from sin.

Three men left Puluwat Atoll, Micronesia, in late March. (An atoll is a ring-shaped island.) They went fishing. A coral reef tore a hole in their boat. The sailors landed on an island called Pikelot (PICK-uh-loe). No one lives there. The men gathered palm leaves. They wrote four huge letters in the sand: H-E-L-P. The men waited more than a week. Pilots in planes saw the word. A Coast Guard ship picked up the men.

“When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him.” (Psalm 91:15)
