Thank you for daring to listen. Welcome back to the Bodies Behind the Bus podcast. On today's

episode, we'll be continuing our mini-series on the Austin Stone. We're honored to have Catherine

here with us today. Catherine, who's a former missionary, will be sharing about her preparation to go

overseas, what it was like

when she was in the Middle East, and what her family experienced when they came home.

We're so thankful for Catherine and her courageous voice.

I am all about blessed subtraction.

There is a pile of dead bodies behind the Morrisville bus.

And by God's grace it'll be a mountain by the time we're done.

You either get on the bus or you get run over by the bus. Those are the options,

but the bus ain't going to stop. You either get on the bus so you get run over by the bus.

Those are the options. But the bus ain't going to stop.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the podcast.

We have another storyteller with us today, Catherine.

We're excited to have her.

Today, Catherine is going to be talking about her time as a missionary overseas in the Middle East.
