“Working for good is not something Vicki does when she feels up to it. It is what she wakes up to and goes to rest with,” says one Grace Gallops reviewer. Grace Gallops tells the story of musician, storyteller, parent, spouse and social justice activist Vicki Vogel Schmidt and her lifelong commitment to justice and peace, care of the neighbor, hospitality and welcome. From a worldview-shattering visit to South Africa in the 1960s to coming to terms with her identity as an adoptee, resettling refugees, welcoming foster children, and launching Sister Parish Inc. and Abriendo Fronteras—Opening Borders, Grace Gallops is a story of what some thought was “too much faith in action”. Encounter the many lives she has touched, fed, housed, healed, inspired, and shared the love of Christ with as she faithfully and humbly welcomed the stranger and in so doing, welcomed Christ.
