Rescue Man prepared to evangelise the nations

Joshua has developed an alter ego called "Rescue Man", as I've posted before. Rescue Man continues to develop new super hero abilities every now and again, and recently he's broadened his definition of saving people from the standard super hero fare of saving from emergencies to sharing the good news of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. He is also all boy, no matter what challenge he's facing:

This morning Joshua told me confidently, "Rescue Man knows lots about Jesus. Mum, do you know what Rescue Man can say? 'Turn back to God for forgivenness of sins and don't worship idols!' And sometimes he sleeps under trees at night and doesn't even go home to his wife Pollyanna Whittier..."

A word of explanation: Anna's alter ego is "Pollyanna Whittier", and they often pretend they're married. You can see a photo of her in costume here. Abigail has started referring to herself in the third person as "Baby" and often calls Anna "Mother" (I am still "Mummy" or "Mum"). I'm not sure what Pollyanna Whittier thinks about her husband sleeping under trees and not coming home, but then you know the quote: "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news!"
