Spreading God's Word Through a Life on the Road
Ellen and Francine McAdams recount decades of evangelistic travels from 1955 onward. They witnessed poverty and miracles, visited Guyana after the 1978 Jonestown tragedy, and lived in a trailer while serving communities. In 1996 Rudolph McAdams died in Albuquerque, prompting a return to Garden City and a home at 702 Campus Drive. They continue reading, praying, and visiting shut ins as they contemplate further travels but seek balance.
