In this Next Door Gospel podcast, host Peggy Griffith speaks with Cassie, a missionary and Bible teacher who shares the remarkable journey she and her husband Garrett embarked on. The couple met through their work with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and later moved to Ukraine to serve as Bible teachers. Cassie recounts their dedication to developing a Bible curriculum for pastors in Eastern Europe, their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unprecedented challenges they faced during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Cassie details the emotional and physical struggles of their evacuation and reflects on how these events have deepened her faith. The episode is part one of a two-part series, with the second part focusing on their life back in the United States and their continued mission work.
