From Amsterdam’s red-light district to the villages of the Philippines, the islands of the Caribbean to the streets of Bogotá—Steve Mickler has spent his life following God's call to the nations.

In this episode, we sit down with Marcela’s dad to hear his incredible journey through decades of global missions, how it shaped his family, and what it means now as the Fagerland’s prepare to go to Panama.
