This American, who sometimes dresses up as Santa Claus to minister to children, is on a mission to sail around the world using only his handmade boat.

Jonathan Selby has been travelling by boat for two years now, trying to get back to home to America. In his every stop, he teaches kids some Christian songs and shares the gospel with them.

He started sailing in 2014 and has been to Singapore, Manila, Leyte, Boracay and Mindoro. His boat is currently docked in Dumaran, Palawan.
