Join hosts Monica Hansen and Pastor David Chotka in this powerful conversation with Roger Wheeler, a full-time Century 21 realtor who co-founded "Shoulder to Shoulder" - a transformative mission feeding over 30,000 malnourished people across 125 churches in Zambia.

Discover how Wheeler's eighth-grade daughter's profound insight sparked a decade-long journey from local Native American reservations to international mission work.
