Another missionary. This one started out in Africa, and headed to the US, where the real heathen were.
I found this amazing story and bring it to you, although I had to wade knee-deep through glurge to do it.

Well done for getting through the glurge to tell us in an h2g2 way about a person who deserves to be commemorated in the Guide.
I spotted just a couple of bits that could do with a tweak:
"This happened to Kaboo, because he was a prince, he'd become a 'pawn', and his people couldn't come up with the ransom." - this sentence might need splitting into two.
The paragraph beginning "At this precise moment, Taylor University..." could be tightened up, I think - you mention the bank being about to foreclose twice, and in "partly because they didn't have enough food to feed them with." who are 'they'?

Thanks for that good feedback, Sasha. Research took longer than I thought - and reading two books and a pamphlet besides watching one-and-a-half documentaries. By the time I was writing it up, it got late and I got sloppy. Thanks for showing me where I needed to go back and rewrite. I'll work on links later.
I hope it's better now. I want to do his story justice - a guy with that much joy and determination deserves to be a Hitchhiker.
