Children's Mission Resources Has Gone to Her Eternal Home.
Bev Gunderson, active, children's missions author and founder of Monarch Publishing, died on September 29, 1998. Since 1988, she had written about 50 children's mission books. Many of these were filled with activities, crafts and illustrations that Bev designed as well.
One of Bev's latest projects was an article, " Out on a Limb," in Reaching Children at Risk, a publication of Viva Network, an agency in the U.K. She was writing for Viva up to the time of her passing.
Before focusing her work on mission resources for children, Bev had already written 15 children's books with Standard Publishing and eight books with David Cook Publishing.
When she decided to exclusively focus on mission books for children, she could not find a publisher for her materials. Undaunted, she became her own publisher and formed Monarch Publishing. She and her husband, Tom, ran the business from their home in Minnesota.
Tom is a retired pastor, and one of the avenues the Lord used to expand their vision for mission was through their kids. They have two children-both of whom are from other cultures.
Bev was a close friend of Gerry Dueck of the Children's Mission Resource Center. Besides having a wonderful business relationship, they also shared prayer requests with one another. Bev often struggled with intense back pain, but still, she often published a book every month.
