Margaret Agard and her new husband Parker felt the call—sell all that you have and follow in missionary work. Starting out in one of Parker's projects (a restored 1980 El Camino), Agard shares a compelling and often humorous account of the life of modern-day servant/missionaries. From an inner city Hispanic church to the wilds of Alaska, Agard's account of missionary stories radiates warmly from her skillful depiction of the characters she befriended. Agard invokes people and life lessons that become a part of you.
