Book Summary

“Slowly by slowly an egg will walk.” - Ethiopian Proverb Growing up in a small Mississippi town Patrick dreamed of being a missionary to some exotic far away place. Through a series of disappointments, illness and heartbreak he was compelled to follow a narrow path. This would-be adventurer was being called to die to himself and live in Christ. This book is the story of the death of a dream and the birth of a vision that would become a new ministry born in suffering, carried out in simplicity and grounded in ancient roots. In a day of innovation and strategy this missionary implores us to rethink what it means to be a disciple of Christ, and calls to those who will join in a journey that takes place one step at the time. “Conformity to the image of Christ is not a prayer for a moment; rather it is a lifetime of faith and obedience that happens slowly by slowly.” - Patrick S. Beard “Patrick Beard is an emissary for the missionary heart of the Gospel. He combines a passion for discipleship with great creativity and vision to impact the unreached of this world. I am happy to endorse his endeavors with Indigenous Outreach.” - Robin Mark, Worship Leader and recording artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
